Read the paragraph from "Wilson's War Message to Congress. We have no quarrel with the German people We have no feeling towards them but one of sympathy and friendship. It was not upon their impulse that their Government acted in entering this war.

The text structure used to support the viewpoint in the paragraph is square

Answer 1

The text structure used to support the viewpoint in the paragraph is **cause and effect**. Wilson argues that the German *people* are not to blame for the war (viewpoint). He supports this by explaining the *cause* of the war: the German *government* acting without the people's consent. This action (cause) led to the war (effect), but the German people were not responsible.
