Question

If Randy Pausch, the author of Last Lecture, had written a speech explaining the different treatment options for pancreatic cancer patients to consider, which organizational structure would he most likely have used?

Chronological Ordering.

Compare and Contrast.

Cause and Effect.

Problem and Resolution.

Answer 1

Since Last Lecture is a personal story about Pausch's own life, it is unlikely that he would have used a informational organizational structure for a speech on treatment options for pancreatic cancer patients. However, if he did, he may have used Cause and Effect as it focuses on the causes of a particular issue and the effects that result, which aligns with the medical topic of treatment options for pancreatic cancer.
