Automatic transmissions and manual transmissions achieve the same goal: They use power to turn the wheels of a car. However, there are some differences between the two.

A car with a manual transmission usually uses less fuel. This is because the driver has greater control over the car; it is the driver, not the car, who is "in the driver's seat." A manual transmission also has more power and can accelerate faster. This is why race cars have manual transmissions. Which organizational pattern is used in the passage? A. Sequential B.
