journal articles analyzing work, and Wikipedia entries are secondary
sources that interpret or summarize primary information.

A. Chronological
B. Cause and effect

of oxygen (effect). This is a direct cause-and-effect relationship
indicated by the transition word "so".

highlight similarities and differences between two or more subjects.
"Similarly" signals similarity; "on the other hand" and "whereas" signal
difference.

heart. The opposite prefix is "tachy-" meaning fast.

A. The normal adult body temperature is approximately 98.6°F (37°C).
B. Influenza is caused by a virus.
