Writing a Compare-and-Contrast Essay about Presentation of Ideas

Question 8 • MO-English Language Arts 9 B-CR

Which is an example of point-by-point organization in a comparative essay?

Answer
A
The Code Book is written in an expository style. The author uses dense, scientific language to provide information.
B
The Code Book uses historical examples from recent history. Author Simon Singh uses these to emphasize the importance of security.
C
The Dark Game is an example of narrative writing. Author Paul Janeczko weaves historical examples together beautifully.
D
The Dark Game uses historical examples from the Civil War. The Code Book also uses historical examples, but from the Cold War.

Explanation

Point-by-point organization compares both subjects using the same feature at each point. Choice D discusses the historical examples in The Dark Game and then compares them with the historical examples in The Code Book. The other choices describe only one book at a time, rather than directly comparing the two.
