Question

How is the following passage from a cause-and-effect essay organized?

When planting daisies, you first need to find the best type of soil in which to plant the flowers. Next, you will need to decide on the perfect location for your new flowers. You could plant them in a large pot, or you could put them in a garden. After you find the right soil and the right spot, you need to place the seeds several inches below the surface of the soil.

Answer 1

It is set up by first explaining what is needed to plant the flowers (best type of soil). Secondly, is the place and so  on and so forth so it is chronological order 

Answer 2

The correct answer is D) chronological order.

The passage from a cause-and-effect essay is organized by chronological order.

When you organize a text in chronological order, the ideas are written from the beginning to the end of the story, or a process, or an action. This is, what happens at the beginning, what is next, what happens after that, and how the story or process ends. In this case, in the instructions to plant daisies, it is written that the first step is “find the best type of soil”, next the second step “you need to decide the location”, and then –finally- “you need to plant the sedes several inches below the Surface of the soil.”

The other options of the question were a) subject by subject b) point by point and c) by order of importance.
