A writer wants to inform an audience of community residents about two potential approaches to the issue of traffic jams in their town. Which structure would be best?

A compare-and-contrast structure is best for presenting two potential approaches because it lets the writer explain how the approaches are similar and different. This helps community residents evaluate the options side by side. A sequential structure would focus on steps or order, while cause and effect would focus on reasons and results.
