In which of the following instances would you be most likely to write a compare-and-contrast essay? A. when writing a report on
how to reduce air pollution B. when writing a mystery story set in an abandoned hotel C. when writing about why Great Britain was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution D. when writing about the effects of high-fat and low-fat diets
Answer: D. When writing about the effects of high-fat and low-fat diets because you can compare-and-contrast the good and the bad effects of both high-fat and low-fat diets and how both diets effect your body whether they are good or bad.
I would say the effects of high-fat and low-fat diets.
Explanation:
For [A] a report on how to reduce air pollution would be expository or persuasive.
For [B] a mystery story would be entertaining and engaging.
For [C] why Great Britain was the birthplace of the industrial revolution would be a persuasive exposition, factually based.
For [D] you would write and exposition comparison to describe the benefits and detriments of the two types of diets, thus a "compare-and-contrast" essay.
