Answer:

Given this

Step-by-step explanation:

Text structure can be defined as words used to describe how a writer or an author organizes his or her words in a literary work.

In English language, there are five (5) nonfiction text structures and these includes;

a. Sequence: this type of text structure make use of words such as after, before, finally, next, then, etc., to describe an event in a timely manner or order of time.

b. Compare and Contrast: it used for the comparison of two or more things to show similarities and differences i.e how they are alike and different.

c. Cause and Effect: it gives the relationship between two things or events in which an occurrence of one (cause) leads to the occurrence of another (effect). Signal words such as consequently, because, as a result, therefore, due to, since, etc.

d. Problem and Solution: it describes a problem and proffers a solution using signal words such as dilemma, solve, problem, etc.

e. Description (list): this type of text structure list lot of facts or details about a subject, making use of phrases such as more importantly, for instance, for example, etc.

In this scenario, "Given this" are words or a phrase that signals a relationship in the above sentence because it establishes that there's a preceding information or paragraph stated previously.
