ASAP Read this excerpt from a book. Gravity is the source of a black hole’s super pull. You deal with gravity every day. You count on it to bring you back to the ground when you jump up. You depend on it when you try to catch a pop fly, knowing the ball will fall down. You expect it to be there, even if you don’t think about it much. –A Black Hole Is Not a Hole, Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano Which organizational pattern is the author using? definition clarification classification advantages and disadvantages

The organizational pattern being used is A. definition.

Explanation:

This question is confusing to many people - you will actually find several claiming the answer is letter C, classification, which it is NOT. As a matter of fact, we just need to take a look at the beginning of the excerpt to identify the pattern.

The author says, "Gravity is the source of a black hole’s super pull." What is she doing here? She is defining gravity, explaining what it is, its meaning. The rest of the excerpt is a continuation of that pattern. She is offering further details to make the definition more complete. A definition pattern is easily identifiable because it often uses terms such as: is, means, refers to, is called, is defined as, entails, is characterized by.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
