4. PROBLEM - SOLUTION

The text structure presents a problem, and shows


how it can be (or has been)
solved. The key difference between cause-effect
and problem-solution is that the
latter always present a solution while the former
does not.

5. COMPARE-CONTRAST

This text structure shows how two or more ideas


or items are similar or different. The text may use
a clustered approach, with details about one topic
followed by the details about the other. It may also
show an alternating approach, with the author
going back between the two topics.
