ots or a breed with shorter hair that would be less irritating to her allergies. I told her I thought her best option was to buy a fish! Which organizational structure is used in this passage? A. cause and effect B. process order C. compare and contrast D. problem and solution
The friend of the text speaker really wants to adopt a dog, but this friend has a serious problem. She is allergic to dogs. This part of the text shows a problem, because the girl wants something, but there is something that prevents her from having it.
The girl says that even with allergies she will adopt a dog and the solution to her allergy problems would be to take medicine or buy a dog with short hair. At this point the speaker of the text presents another solution to the girl's problem, which would be to buy a fish.
