Answer:
1The art of letter writing seems to have declined sharply in recent years.
Shape and pattern type : the information has been organised in terms of cause-effect, however, the topic sentence has the effect and the other sentences unfold the possible causes. This is a top down approach.
Explanation:
The topic sentence holds the most important idea: the fact the art of writing has turned rapidly into an activity from the past has been well noticed in recent years: <em>effect.</em> Then, these are the possible <em>causes</em>: the high cost of stationary and postage; people's lack of time for writing; change of means of communicating with friends; and the instant access to friends and family members through other means of communication.
It would be B because that's the only one in which the author states his opinion, not a fact. It's a fact that the airplanes cost that much, that the DDTs name is the specific one also, and that the little boy has an illness. It is not a fact that the EPA is hopheads.<span />
