Text structure can be defined as words used to describe how a writer or an author organizes his or her words in a literary work.

In English language, there are five (5) nonfiction text structures and these includes;

a. Sequence: this type of text structure make use of words such as after, before, finally, next, then, etc., to describe an event in a timely manner or order of time.

d. Description (list): this type of text structure list lot of facts or details about a subject, making use of phrases such as more importantly, for instance, for example, etc.

e. Problem and Solution: it describes a problem and proffers a solution using signal words such as dilemma, solve, problem, etc.

From the passage, we learnt that wild chimpanzees are rapidly disappearing.

However, some people are trying to solve this problem. Otherwise, chimpanzees may go into extinction and perhaps exist only in zoos.

The solution proffered by the people is to save the rain forests and woodlands where the chimps live (habitat) from being cut down.

Hence, the text structure used in the above paragraph is a problem-solution structure.
