B. while, both, only one, however
Explanation:
If the essay is comparative, we will need words that help establish that comparison. That is why list B is the best option. Take a look at the examples below:
- While A is like this, B is like that.
- Both novels have the same theme.
- Only A develops the character deeply; however, B describes their physical appearance.
See how we used the words from list B in the sentences above. Each sentence is comparing two different things or literary works.
List A would be more effective in a chronologically structured essay. List C would be better for a cause-and-effect essay.
