Answer:
1) This passage does not contain an argument. It begins with a comment that everyone knows the U.S. is having an election (in 2008); the author proceeds to state three things that he thinks Europe should focus on. He does not offer reasons for his statement that these three things are jobs, Muslims, and neighbors.
2) This passage contains both an argument and a sub-argument. 1.The butler was passionately in love with the victim. Thus, 2. It was not the butler who committed the murder. 3. Either the butler committed the murder or the judge committed the murder. Therefore, 4. The judge committed the murder. The sub-argument goes from (1) to (2), and the main argument goes from (2) and (3) to (4). Note again: identifying the structure does not imply saying that this is a good argument.
3) This passage contains an argument. Standardization: (1) No one who uses a relatively unreliable procedure in order to decide whether to punish can know whether that other person deserves punishment. (2) No one who cannot know whether another person deserves punishment has a right to punish that person. Therefore, (3) No one who uses a relatively unreliable procedure in order to decide whether to punish another person has a right to punish that person.

The correct answer is Cause and effect
Explanation:
The text presented focuses on the economic crisis of 2008. In this, the author first refers to this event through a general statement "Many people are confused about why our economy went to shambles in 2008", and then explains the causes of the event. Additionally, to do this, the author enumerates the causes, this can be seen in "Second, banks would bundle these toxic loans...".
This means the general organization of this text is to mention an event and then explain the causes of it in detail. This only occurs in the cause and effect organization because this the only one that allows authors to explore the causes and/or effects of one or more events. According to this, the structure is cause and effect.
