Active listening thesis statement

Signal words or phrases that could identify a problem-solution text structure usually include terms that indicate a problem is being described or a solution is being proposed. "Therefore" is not commonly used as a signal word for problem-solution structures.

The correct answer from the options you provided is A. "first." This term suggests that a problem will be introduced first, followed by proposed solutions.

To identify a problem-solution text structure, you need to look for signal words that indicate the presence of a problem and a solution. Signal words are words or phrases that provide clues about the organization and structure of a text. In this case, the correct signal word would be a word that suggests the presence of a problem or a solution.

Option A, "first," does not indicate a problem or a solution. It suggests the sequence of events.

Option B, "I think," is not a signal word for problem-solution text structure. It indicates personal opinion or speculation.

Option C, "therefore," also does not suggest a problem or a solution. It indicates a cause-and-effect relationship.

So, in this case, none of the options listed are signal words for a problem-solution text structure. It might be helpful to consider other options or look for different signal words such as "issue," "challenge," "solve," "resolve," "problem," "answer," etc.
