Your supervisor has asked you to write a brief description of an abandoned silver mine that is slated for hazardous-waste cleanup. Of the organizational patterns discussed in Chapter 7, which would be most logical and effective for describing the mine?

A) classification or partition
B) general to specific
C) problem-methods-solution
D) spatial

The best organizational pattern for describing an abandoned silver mine is spatial, as it allows for a clear and detailed description of the physical layout and features of the mine, such as tunnels, shafts, and underground chambers. This pattern can help readers visualize the layout of the mine and better understand the scope of the hazardous waste cleanup that will be required.
