Question

On which of the following topics can you write a compare and contrast essay?
Select the best option.

• A. Science is limited
• B. Medicine will one day be useless
• C. The best way to succeed is to lead
• D. Off-campus and on-campus living

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Off-campus and on-campus living

Option D: The essay is on a comparison between two things: 'off-campus' and 'on-campus lving'. The best way to lay out those ideas would be through 'Compare and Contrast'.

This type of essay would draw the relation between off-campus and on-campus living, by comparing them and bringing forth their pros and cons.

Hence option D is correct.

Options A, B and C: These titles are descriptive or argumentative. But they neither compare nor contrast. They have one single topic each to write on.

Options A, B and C are not suitable for a Compare and Contrast essay.

Hence options A, B and C are wrong.
