The answer is (B.) A sequence text structure is used to describe an order of events in Walter and Vida Hayter's life.

Explanation:

In the excerpt above, there's a clear sequence of events.

"After a brief courtship, he and Vida Dixon married and sailed to the United States in 1923."

First is the timeline; they showed that they started with courtship, then marriage then sailing to the United States.

Secondly is the date. They showed the date of their movement to the United States 1923.

This shows sequence.

Cause and effect, may have giveaways like "because, as a result, effect, resultant", etc. But due to the two reasons stated above, the answer is B.

This recounts the events that happened at a certain point in Diab Thomas's life - when, after peddling dry goods in Virginia, made a decision to return to Lebanon, marries Mary Ramah and had children with her. Taken from "Island of Hope, Island of Tears", Diab Thomas's story is just but one of many immigrant stories. It chronicles events that took place when immigrants set foot on Ellis Island and experienced how it is like in "the land of the free"; contrasting these experiences with those from their native lands.
