Answer: The text lists several organizational patterns, including: 1) Temporal pattern, organizing on the basis of a time. 2) Spatial pattern, organizing by physical location. 3) Topical pattern, organizing the speech into subtopics and component parts. 4) Problem-solution pattern, which divides the speech into problems and proposed solutions. 5) Cause-effect or effect-cause pattern, which divides the speech into causes and effects. 6) Structure-function pattern, which divides the speech into points for structure and function. 7) Comparison and contrast pattern, which clarifies how topics are similar and different. 8) Pro-and-con pattern, which explains the advantages and disadvantages of different plans. 9) Claim-and-proof pattern, in which the thesis serves as a claim, and the main points support that claim. 10) Multiple definition pattern, in which each main point is a different type of definition. 11) Who? What? Why? Where? When? pattern, in which each main point answers one of those questions. 12) Fiction-fact pattern, in which the main points are fiction, and are then followed by facts.
