Read the excerpt from "The Rosetta Stone.”
Then chance stepped in. In 1798, Napoleon went to Egypt to protect its trade interests. In addition to an army, he brought along Egyptian scholars who were charged with copying the inscriptions and studying the architecture.
The following year, the French bolstered their defenses by rebuilding a fort in the town of Rosetta. In the midst of the fortification, the Rosetta Stone was discovered. Ironically, this large stone tablet was found not by one of the scholars but by a soldier. Luckily, he recognized that the inscriptions must have value. Militarily, Napoleon's Egyptian campaign was a disaster—the British decimated the French navy—but historically, it was of long-lasting importance.
Which best describes the primary structure of this excerpt?
problem and solution
chronological order
list form
comparison and contrast

Alright, so, let's see:

Problem Solution: Gives a problem, suggests a solution
Chronological Order: Lists events by the order they happened in time.
List form: Don't worry about this.
Comparison and Contrast: Finding similarities and differences between two said topics

Now, I can say with confidence that All are wrong except Chronological Order. Why? There are no problems to solve, it's just telling you what happened. There also aren't two things to compare similarities and differences with. List form is automatically out.

I know it's Chronological order because it says: "In 1798, Napoleon went to Egypt to protect its trade interests." Then, it says: "The following year, the French bolstered their defenses by rebuilding a fort in the town of Rosetta" It is going by order of date, thus Chronological Order.

Your answer is Chronological Order.
