Question 2 • English Language Arts 10

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

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

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.
