Question

Edison has asked the California Public Utilities Commission to authorize the utility to partner with private companies to build 30,000 electric-vehicle public charging stations in Southern California. The application may be approved this year, he said. What option best describes the text structure implied in the excerpt?

Answer 1

Answer:

- Problem-and-solution.

Explanation:

The text structure is one of the vital elements of any literary or written work as it defines the efficacy and influence of the message onto the audience.

The description reflects that the text structure implied in this given excerpt is 'problem-and-solution' as it proposes a potential solution of 'electric-vehicles and availing the charging stations' to the identified problem of 'climate change' that is essential to be resolved and further analyses the effects or contribution of the solution to resolving the problem. Thus, it follows a 'problem-and-solution' text structure.
