Question

How can two authors focus on the same topic but write two entirely different texts? (Choose all that apply)

Answer 1

Answer:

The authors can pick which evidence they want to include based on the narrative they want to present

The authors might be writing about the same topic, but have different questions they want to answer in  their text

They can write about the same topic but have entirely different viewpoints on the material. Therefore,  they have differing arguments.

Answer 2

Answer:

All of the above except impossible

Explanation:

Two people can write about the same thing but have different viewpoints. For example, social media. One person can write about the positive aspect and the other can write about the negative aspects. Therefore, they have different arguments.

They can also have different questions they want to answer which can take their paper in a different direction.

Lastly, they can pick and choose which evidence they want to include in order to support what they are trying to portray. For example, the topic of racism. One person might only use evidence that only applies to African Americans. The other people might use evidence that only applies to Asians.

So, all of the choices are a possibility.

Hope that helps.
