patterns would be a good choice for her presentation?
A. general to specific
B. chronological
C. spatial
D. Spect to general

Answer 1

Answer:

The organizational pattern that would be a good choice for her presentation is:

A. general to specific.

Explanation:

Organizational patterns help establish a relationship between paragraphs in a text. The best organizational pattern to be used will depend on what the author wants to achieve. If the purpose is, for instance, to relate a sequence of events that led to a certain result, a chronological pattern would helpful.

In Sara's case, a general to specific pattern seems to be the best option. This pattern starts with a broader idea or concept. Then, it narrows it to more specific and detailed information inside that idea or concept. That is precisely what Sara wishes to do. She will go from general owls as a group to a specific species, the barn owl.
