Car crashes are extremely dangerous. In the past, not all cars had seatbelts. As highways began to spread across the United States, more and more people were getting hurt in car crashes. The government made a new law requiring everyone to wear a seatbelt in order to keep people safe. As a result, there were far fewer deaths on the road. It was estimated that seatbelts saved about 14,000 lives in the year 2015.

What type of text structure does this passage make use of?

Daniel Sullivan was the first to notice the flames coming from the O’Leary barn at around 8:30 pm on October 8. A problem with the alarm box made it impossible for the people in the area to call for the fire department. By 9:30 pm, the entire block was blazing. In another 3 hours, there were fires all over Chicago. The heavy wind coming from the lake only made the fire bigger. It would be another day before the fire would be completely out. By that time, 17,500 buildings had been burned.
