What is the text structure of the passage?


Among the shortfalls of diagnostic testing is the possibility of false negatives (failing to detect a condition when it is present) and false positives (detecting a condition when it is absent).

It is easy to see why false negatives can be a problem – we lose the benefits of early intervention. But false positives can also cause harm, including unnecessary treatment. This is why positive screening tests are often followed up with a second, different test to confirm a diagnosis.

What text structure is used in the passage?


Teachers and students alike are having a hard time adjusting to the new norm of learning. Traditional educators who are not technology savvy are not only teaching their subjects but are also learning gradually how to communicate these knowledge using a medium that is way beyond what they were used to. Students are also in a position where understanding each lesson depends on the skills that they are not used to in this age of viewing and entertainment: reading and listening. Both, however, are at the mercy of the very slow internet connectivity in the country.
