Improving Passage Organization

Very Hard Expression Of Ideas Organization

Read the following passage and consider how the author organizes the information presented. The passage discusses the impact of urbanization on wildlife populations:

As cities expand, they create barriers that disrupt the natural movement of wildlife. Many species are unable to adapt to urban environments, leading to a decline in their populations. Furthermore, urban areas often contribute to habitat fragmentation, which can isolate animal populations and diminish genetic diversity. This isolation can have cascading effects on the ecosystem as a whole, as certain species play critical roles in their habitats.

Despite the challenges, some animals exhibit remarkable adaptability. Species such as raccoons and coyotes have thrived in urban settings, taking advantage of new food sources and nesting sites. However, these successes do not negate the broader implications of urban expansion.

The author discusses both the challenges and few successes of wildlife adaptation to urban environments. Which of the following revisions would most effectively improve the organization of the passage?

Introduce the success of adaptable species before discussing the challenges of habitat fragmentation.

Add a closing sentence that summarizes the impact of urbanization after discussing wildlife adaptation.

Separate the challenges of urbanization from the adaptations by creating distinct sections for each.

Start with a general statement about urbanization before mentioning specific impacts on wildlife.
