Identify the text structure used in paragraph 2 of this text:
<h3>Chronological Pattern: Getting Ready for a Field Day</h3>
This section uses chronological order, meaning events follow time order. First, the coach announced Field Day on Monday morning. Next, students signed up for events during homeroom. Then, teams practiced on Tuesday and Wednesday after school. After that, volunteers set up stations early Thursday. Finally, the games began on Friday with a warm-up lap.
<h3>Compare/Contrast Pattern: Sprinting and Relay</h3>
This section uses compare/contrast, showing how two events are alike and different. Both sprinting and relay races require speed and focus. However, sprinting depends on one runner's start and finish. Relay races depend on smooth handoffs between teammates. Also, sprinters stay in one lane, but relay runners must time exchanges carefully.
<h3>Cause/Effect Pattern: Practice and Results</h3>
This section uses cause and effect, explaining reasons and results. Because teams practiced starts, fewer runners slipped at the beginning. Since students learned pacing, they did not tire too quickly. As a result, many teams improved their times by Friday.
