please answer asap :) !!

Answer 1

Answer:

Historians use sequential (chronological) text structure to demonstrate events over a linear time span. They could use a cause and effect structure, as well as a comparison and contrast structure.

Explanation:

By using a chronological textual structure, historians allow the creation of a narrative where events create a linear passage of time. In this way, historians can create a text where events are organized to show the passage of time and the effects that this passage had on society from the beginning to the present.

Historians could use a cause and effect structure to show how attitudes and events in the past have resulted in events and situations in more recent times.

They can also use a structure of comparison and contrast, where they compare different times and evidence the factors where both are similar or different.
