Question

Which type of graphic organizer would best represent the connection between the ideas in this excerpt?

a chronology that shows a sequence of several events
a problem-solution graphic that presents a problem and a solution
a t-chart that separates ideas into two different categories
a cause-and-effect graphic that shows how one idea led to another

Answer 1

I don’t see the excerpt — can you paste it? Without it I can’t pick the single best organizer.

Here’s a quick guide to help you choose, or paste the excerpt and I’ll pick for you:

- Chronology (sequence of events): use this if the excerpt lists events in time order (dates, first/next/then/finally).
- Problem–solution: use this if the passage presents a problem and then proposes one or more solutions.
- T-chart (two categories): use this if the ideas naturally split into two clear categories (e.g., pros vs. cons, before vs. after, fact vs. opinion).
- Cause-and-effect: use this if one idea leads to or produces another (if/then language, because, resulted in, led to).

If the passage shows multiple causal links or many interconnections, a flowchart or concept map might work better than any single one above. Paste the excerpt and I’ll recommend the best organizer.
