Question

Which BEST describes the organization of this passage? A) cause and effect B) sequence of events C) compare and contrast D) main idea and details

Answer 1

Answer:

C) compare and contrast

Explanation:

According to a different source, this is the passage that comes with this question:

"The cardinal and the cedar waxwing are two common birds. Both have crests on their heads. Both are common at birdfeeders. But the birds have some differences. The male cardinal is a bright red, while the waxwing is brown.  The cedar waxwing often migrates from place to place. On the other hand, the cardinal stays in one place year after year."

In this passage, the structure employed is that of compare and contrast. Compare and contrast refers to a type of structure in which two different, but somewhat related subjects, are presented. The author then examines the similarities that these share, as well as the differences that makes them unique. This enriches the understanding that the reader has of both subjects.
