Because several inches of rain fell within a few hours, many roads were flooded and people had to find alternative routes to get to their destination. which organizational structure is used in this sentence? a. cause and effect b. problem and solution c. chronological order d. compare and contrast

A.  cause and effect.

Explanation:

"Cause and effect" or causality is the state in which one part causes the outcome of an event that leads to the other state of the event. And both parts are partly or fully dependent on the other for their condition. In cause and effect, the cause contributes to the effect that will happen in the next phase, thus leading to the dual dependence of the two.

In the given sentence, the heavy rains cause the flood, thus leading to many people looking for "alternative routes to get to their destination". The heavy rain is the cause of the whole effect of the "flood", which led to the people looking for other ways to get on.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
