Question

Select the correct text in the passage. Aaliyah is writing an essay on how to break in a baseball glove. Which two signal words or phrases help to identify the text structure she chose to use? I started playing T-ball when I was three years old, and I’ve been playing ever since. For many years, I had a glove that I loved to use. It was broken in perfectly—not stiff at all. Unfortunately, the glove fell apart during a game; therefore, I found myself needing to break in a new one. I researched several methods and chose the best one for the job. Here’s the method that I found to work the best: After washing your hands, start applying glove oil all over your glove with a cloth. You need to really work on the area around the pocket and along the laces. Allow the glove to dry before going on to the next step. Place a baseball or softball in the pocket of the glove. Then wrap it with rubber bands to keep it in place. You still might end up with creases in your glove. To solve this problem, you should be careful not to wrap the glove too tight or allow the bands to be too loose.
