Question

Reread lines 3–9. What pattern of organization does the author use to explain what happens when ""your body veers toward trouble""?

Answer 1

Answer:

The author has used the organizational pattern of 'cause and effect'.

Explanation:

The patterns of organization are those patterns that an author use to arrange or present his/her thoughts logically. There are several patterns of organization that the author use such as chronological order, cause-and-effect organization, compare-and-contrast organization, and classification organization.

In the article "At Home In The Discomfort Zone" by Kevin Foley, the author has used the pattern of organization of cause-and-effect while explaining 'your body veers toward trouble.'

The cause-and-effect pattern of organization is a relationship between one event of occuring (cause) that leads to the occuring of another event (effect).

The author is using cause-and-effect pattern in the expression "your body veers toward trouble" by using the word 'As.' The word 'As'  signals the cause (veering of body towards trouble) which leads to effects of fear and anxiety.

Thus the correct answer is 'Cause-and-effect.'
