Question

When we went on the field trip, I sat beside my friend Julie. Erin and Stephanie sat in front of us. Matt and Luis sat behind us. Which organizational structure is used?

order of importance

spatial order

process order

chronological order

Answer 1

I'm almost positive that it is B. spatial order

Answer 2

The correct answer is the second option (spatial order).

As we can see in the example provided, the speaker tells us the physical position each participant occupied during the mentioned field trip. We see how he or she uses prepositions such as "beside, in front of, and behind" to indicate where each participant was. Hence, THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE USED IS SPATIAL ORDER.
