What text structure is the following passage?




While many had believed the Titanic was unsinkable, it floundered on April 15, 1912. Although it looked like the ship would
miss the iceberg, because bergs are wider underneath, the ice scraped the ship under the water, causing several holes.
Even though watertight compartments could take in water and the ship would stay afloat, only four could be flooded.
Water spilled through the compartments, causing five to be flooded, and ultimately, the Titanic to sink.
