The text structure that the reader can predict from the given headers—“What the scientists did,” “What they found,” and “Why it matters”—is problem-solution. This is because the headers suggest a sequence where a problem is identified (the Great Pacific Garbage Patch), followed by findings (the research conducted by scientists), and the implications or significance of those findings (why it matters).
