Question 2 of 10 How does the organizational structure of the passage support the author's
purpose?
It has been fun getting to know Sven, my pen pal from Sweden. We are
both in sixth grade and love reading adventure books. We write to each
other in English, because Sven speaks two languages but I only speak
one. He was surprised by the size of my family- l have five brothers
and sisters, but Sven has none. I like learning about his favorite foods
and hobbles. Sven says he almost never has tacos (my favorite food),
nor does he play tennis (my favorite sport).
