Question 4 • LISD English II A

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

Answer

B
In the body paragraphs, the writer should provide supporting evidence.
C
The essay should analyze and discuss similarities, but not differences.
D
In the conclusion, the writer should state which genre he or she prefers.

Explanation

Body paragraphs develop the comparison by explaining points about each genre and supporting those points with evidence, such as examples or facts. A strong comparison discusses both similarities and differences. The conclusion summarizes the comparison rather than stating which genre the writer personally prefers.
