Question

Over the centuries the story has been told and retold and told again, often with a widely varying cast of characters. Knights, priests and priestesses, kings and queens, and various users of magic come and go, but always there is Arthur, the sun around which all else revolves, his faithless wife (Guinevere), his equally-faithless best friend (Lancelot), the illegitimate son (Mordred) who becomes his bane—and Merlin. Whatever his role, Merlin is always there, and it is always clear that Arthur could not have existed, survived, or become King without him.

Which organizational type dominates the passage?

comparison/contrast
spatial
order of importance
chronological

Answer 1

C)  Order of Importance

Answer 2

Answer: order of importance. Chronological would be telling a story like what you did today and follow by telling in what order it happened. Spatial is description of your bedroom, for example. Compare/contrast must have similarities and differences. In our case order of importance lands our important character focus at the end.
