What is the difference between problem/solution and cause/effect? a. cause/effect identifies similarities and differences; problem/solution looks at an existing chain of events. b. problem/solution looks at an existing chain of events; cause/effect looks at existing problems and possible solutions that might fix them. c. cause/effect looks at an existing chain of events; problem/solution looks at existing problems and possible solutions that might fix them. d. problem/solution identifies similarities and differences; cause/effect looks at an existing chain of events.

The correct answer is C. Cause/effect looks at an existing chain of events; problem/solution looks at existing problems and possible solutions that might fix them.

Explanation:

Both problem/solution and cause/effect are organization models and types of texts; however, the content and focus of each are different. In the case of problem/solution, this defines and explores a problem or problematic situation and then one or more solutions to fix or solve the problem, because of this, this type of text is written when dealing with problematic situations. On the other hand in cause/ effect, a set or chain of events are analyzed to determine the causes or triggers of an event and then the consequences or effects of it and therefore it can be used to analyze almost any event. The previous ideas imply the difference between both is that the problem/solution analyzes problems and possible solutions and the cause/effect analyzes a chain of events (Option C).
