Answer 1

The given group of signal words that are given above are examples of the time order pattern. These words are used in paragraphs to indicate a time, sequence or order of events. These signal words are commonly used in directions such as cookbooks where steps are listed in order. 

Answer 2

Answer: Time order

These words are better suited to a time order pattern. This is a type of pattern that follows a chronological order.

This is particularly useful in procedural texts, as the order of the steps can be very important if we want to get the desired result.
