How does the organizational structure of the passage support the author's purpose?
Aren't you tired of players, parents, and coaches getting too upset over
kids' sporting events? Although children's sports should be about
learning, exercising, and having a good time, too many people make it
all about winning. For this reason, I think kids' sporting events should
not be scored. The focus would return to building skills and having fun.
It would also be good for players' self-esteem, because there would be
no losing team.
A. To inform the reader about the benefits of kids' sports, the author
uses a chronological structure that shares the most important
aspects of participating in Little League.
B. To persuade the reader that kids' sports should not be scored, the
author uses a problem-solution structure that explains how
eliminating scorekeeping would improve attitudes about youth
sports.
C. To persuade the reader that parents need to behave better at
sporting events, the author uses a chronological structure that
shows scoreless games have become more popular over time.
O D. To inform the reader about an important change to kids' sporting
events, the author uses a problem-solution structure that gives
reasons for focusing on having fun instead of on winning.
