Question 2

What pattern of organization does this body paragraph use?
  Cryptozoology is the study of and search for animals that science has yet to acknowledge
  exist and animals thought to be extinct. The word cryptozoology literally means the study of
  hidden animals. Bernard Heuvelmans (19162001) is considered the father of
  cryptozoology and often credited with creating the words to describe his own research in the
  1950s. While most people associate cryptozoologists with those who hunt for Bigfoot, the
  Chupacabra, and the Loch Ness Monster, there are respected scientists who search for new
  species of insects, reptiles, birds, and mammals in the little explored region of the tropics.
  These scientists, however, are not likely to call themselves cryptozoologists because most
  consider the field a pseudoscience. Colleges do not offer degrees in cryptozoology and rarely
  offer elective courses on the topic.
 
  But even though the International Society of
  Cryptozoology ceased its operations in 1998, avid cryptozoologists continue their searches
  and consider their studies and methods as valid as those of recognized scientists
