The author of the paragraph used the organizational structure of comparison and contrast. This can be identified by the fact that the paragraph highlights the similarities and differences between the French and Spanish languages. The author compares how both languages use the same basic 26 letters from the Latin alphabet, but then contrasts how these letters create different words and sounds in each language. The paragraph also compares the usage of accent marks in both languages and contrasts the number of people speaking Spanish versus French. Therefore, the organizational structure used by the author is comparison and contrast.
