Read each of the following paragraphs and respond to the questions that follow by choosing the letter of the correct answer.
The first is its clarity and precision. Commonsense notions about behavior tend to be vague and
ambiguous. Consider the old adage “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” What exactly does this
generalization about childrearing amount to? How severely should children be punished if parents are not to “spare the rod?” How do we assess whether a child qualifies as “spoiled?” A fundamental problem is that such statements have different meanings, depending on the person. In contrast, the scientific approach requires that people specify exactly what they are talking about when they formulate hypotheses. This clarity and precision enhance communication about important ideas.
Which two patterns organize the details of this paragraph?
a. cause/effect and list
b. list and compare/contrast
c. cause/effect and examples
d. definition and list
b. list and compare/contrast
