A group of students in a summer program in India recently put their minds together to propose a new and improved design for prosthetics for patients who have lost their hands. The difficulty is that many prosthetic, or artificial, hands are hard to fit and move, as well as tiring to use. With robotics, the students in the program succeeded in creating a soft, flexible prosthetic hand that uses a hinged aluminum mechanism and is easier to operate. This innovation has the potential to improve thousands of lives around the world.

Which organizational structure does this text primarily use?

Questions

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The text primarily uses a **problem-solution** organizational structure. It first presents a problem (the difficulties associated with traditional prosthetic hands) and then discusses the solution that the group of students developed (a new design for a soft, flexible prosthetic hand using robotics). This structure effectively highlights both the challenge faced and the innovative response to that challenge.
