Which writing pattern identifies an issue, then discusses possible fixes?

• A. Chronological
• B. Topical
• C. Problem-solution
• D. Reason

Answer: (C)

This question is about the problem-solution writing pattern. In this pattern, you first identify an issue and explain its impact, then move on to possible fixes or responses and how they could be implemented. The key is the sequence: present the problem, then propose remedies and discuss their feasibility or steps to take.

This fits because the prompt describes identifying an issue and then discussing possible fixes. Other patterns wouldn’t center on proposing solutions after presenting a problem: chronological organizes events by time, topical groups information by subjects, and reason/cause-effect analyzes causes and effects rather than offering remedies.
