It's important to think critically about things or else you may be led astray. For example, the brontosaurus never really existed. Yet many people still believe in the brontosaurus today. You see, the "brontosaurus" is actually the body of an apatosaurus with the head of a camarasaurus. This concocted creature was made from two mismatched fossils. People should think critically about such findings. They should analyze the presented components carefully, with a critical mind. If more people had done this, entire generations of school children may not have been misinformed. One should always think critically about the information that one receives. Keep these problems in mind when conducting your studies. How do you know what the TEXT STRUCTURE of this passage is?

The passage clearly identifies the problem of mis-educating children about the brontosaurus, and the solution of analyzing information critically before presenting it as proof, making it "problem and solution".

The passage clearly outlines the sequence of educating children about the brontosaurus, however negligently, making it "sequence".

The passage clearly outlines how generations of children have been mis-educated about the brontosaurus over the years, making it "chronological".

The passage clearly states why information has been misunderstood concerning the brontosaurus, and the effect that misunderstanding has had on children for generations, making it "cause and effect".

Sir Isaac Newton was contemplating the universe in his garden one day in 1665 when he noticed an apple fall from a tree. Newton wondered to himself, “Why should the apple always fall to the ground? Why does it not go sideways or upwards but directly toward the Earth’s center?” After much contemplation Newton concluded that objects are pulled to the Earth through a force that he called gravity , which means heaviness in Latin. On July 5 th , 1687, Newton formally expressed his law of universal gravitation in a series of books called, The Principia . What would be an appropriate title for the above passage?

"Sir Isaac Newton and the Discovery of Gravity"

"The Principia, Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation"

"Gravity, Up or Down, that is the question?"

"The Apple, as it Defined Gravity"
