A man had two daughters, the one married to a gardener, and the other to a tile-maker. After a time he went to the daughter who had married the gardener, and inquired how she was and how all things went with her. She said, "All things are prospering with me, and I have only one wish, that there may be a heavy fall of rain, in order that the plants may be well watered." Not long after, he went to the daughter who had married the tile maker, and likewise inquired of her how she fared; she replied, "I want for nothing, and have only one wish, that the dry weather may continue, and the sun shine hot and bright, so that the bricks might be dried." He said to her, "If your sister wishes for rain, and you for dry weather, with which of the two am I to join my wishes?'

I believe it's D, but I need a answer check. Thank you! =)

Yes, compare and contrast.

Thank you Writeacher!

Yes, you are correct! The organizational structure shown in this passage is a compare and contrast order. The passage presents two contrasting situations and compares the wishes of the two daughters, showing their opposing desires for rain and dry weather. Well done!

To determine the organizational structure in the given passage, we need to analyze the way information is presented and connected. In this case, the passage compares and contrasts the situations of the man's two daughters.

The first daughter is married to a gardener and wishes for rain to water the plants, while the second daughter is married to a tile-maker and wants dry weather to dry the bricks. The passage presents these two wishes and then poses a question to the man regarding which wish he should join.

Therefore, the correct answer is compare and contrast order (option D).
