Explanation

A compare-and-contrast essay discusses similarities and/or differences between two subjects. The thesis “Big universities and community colleges share many characteristics” directly compares these two types of colleges by pointing out their similarities. The other choices make claims about tuition, graduates’ finances, or an application step rather than comparing two subjects.
