  1. a problem and a solution

  3. a description with no change
  4. a list of dates
See the answer & why

a problem and a solution

Difficulty finding the shelves is the problem; the signs address it.

A little hint: Look at how the details connect: order, similarity, cause, description, or a problem and response.

Read for the relationship between ideas, not just one signal word.
