"In some situations of intense hostility between groups, the problem is “solved” by removing the minority from the scene altogether. In 1972, for example, the entire Asian population was ordered to leave the African country of Uganda, in which they had lived for generations. In a few cases, population transfer may involve outright partition of a territory. "

Which writing pattern (Rhetorical Pattern) is represented below?
"Some flat characters are immediately recognizable as stock characters. These stereotypes are particularly popular in formula fiction, television programs, and action movies. Stock characters are types rather than individuals. The poor but dedicated writer falls in love with a hard-working understudy, who gets nowhere because the corrupt producer favors his boozy, pampered mistress for the leading role."

"On one corner of my dresser sits a smiling toy clown on a tiny unicycle--a gift I received last Christmas from a close friend. The clown's short yellow hair, made of yarn, covers its ears but is parted above the eyes. The blue eyes are outlined in black with thin, dark lashes flowing from the brows. It has cherry-red cheeks, nose, and lips, and its broad grin disappears into the wide, white ruffle around its neck."

"It is fairly easy to cook a delicious apple cobbler. First, you will need to have at least two cups of apples on hand, and they should be peeled and sliced into thin crescent shapes. Almost any type of apple will do--either red delicious or granny style or whatever your local grocery store offers. Next, you will need about one half cup of sugar for extra added sweetness. Either white granulated sugar or brown refined will work equally well. (I have used both kinds with the same success.) Finally, about two sticks of butter or two pounds of margarine will be necessary to give the cobbler that lip-smacking smoothness that my family just loves."

"In recent decades, cities have grown so large that now about 50% of the Earth's population lives in urban areas. First, the increasing industrialization of the nineteenth century resulted in the creation of many factory jobs, which tended to be located in cities. Second, there were many schools established to educate the children of the new factory laborers.
