If the paragraph presents a problem and then provides solutions, it would suggest "problem and solution" as the organization. If the paragraph presents similarities and differences between two things, it would suggest "compare and contrast" as the organization. If the paragraph presents information in order of importance, it would suggest "order of importance" as the organization. Analyzing the content and structure of the paragraph will help you determine the organization.
