Read the passage carefully, and the select the TEXT STRUCTURE that is used.
But before I died I didn't think of Rob, or any other guy. I didn't think of all the outrageous things I'd done with my friends. I didn't even think of my family, or the way the morning light turns the walls in my bedroom the color of cream, or the way the azaleas outside of my window smell in July, a mixture of honey and cinnamon. Instead, I thought of Vicky Hallinan. Specifically, I thought of the time in 4th grade when Lindsay announced in front of the whole gym class that she wouldn't have Vicky on her dodgeball team. I wasn't friends with Lindsay yet, but even then she had this way of saying things that made them hilarious, and I laughed along with everyone else while Vicky's face turned as purple as the wrinkled underside of a storm cloud.

And Vicky's face

The text structure used in the passage is predominantly **c (description)**. The passage vividly describes the speaker's memories and feelings rather than presenting a clear cause-and-effect relationship, a problem and solution, or a chronological sequence of events. The focus is on sensory details and specific moments from the past.
