In "Save the Redwoods," how does the organizational structure of the paragraph below help
to develop Muir's point that redwoods are at great risk?
(3) In a general view we find that the Sequoia gigantea, or Big Tree, is distributed in a
widely interrupted belt along the west flank of the Sierra, from a small grove on the
middle fork of the American River to the head of Deer Creek, a distance of about two
hundred and sixty miles, at an elevation of about five thousand to a little over eight
thousand feet above the sea. From the American River grove to the forest on Kings
River the species occurs only in comparatively small isolated patches or groves so
sparsely distributed along the belt that three of the gaps in it are from forty to sixty
miles wide. From Kings River southward the Sequoia is not restricted to mere groves,
but extends across the broad rugged basins of the Kaweah and Tule rivers in majestic
forests a distance of nearly seventy miles, the continuity of this portion of the belt
being but slightly broken save by the deep cañons.
By comparing the different rivers that support redwood populations, he indicates where redwoods
are likely to disappear first.
By providing the details about the geography of the region, he explains how easily lumber companies
can harvest the trees and wipe out redwood populations.
By specifically describing the small range in which redwoods grow, he emphasizes that redwoods are
a rare resource that cannot easily be replaced if destroyed.
O By explaining the harsh climate where the trees grow, he provides causes for the decrease in
redwood populations
