Question 4 • English Language Arts 10

Which statement is true about how to organize an informational essay comparing two genres?

Answer
A
In the body paragraphs, the writer should provide supporting evidence.
B
In the conclusion, the writer should state which genre he or she prefers.
C
The essay should analyze and discuss similarities, but not differences.
D
The essay should begin by analyzing the first genre to be compared.

Explanation

A comparison essay should support its points with evidence in the body paragraphs, such as details or examples from each genre. The conclusion should summarize the comparison rather than simply state a personal preference. The essay should discuss both similarities and differences, and its introduction—not its opening analysis—sets up the comparison.
