Question

What kind of essay would best suit the given topic:
What are the common themes in the two movies?

• A. Compare and contrast
• B. Descriptive
• C. Narrative
• D. Cause and effect

Answer 1

The correct option is A Compare and contrast

Option A: The essay is on two movies and themes common between them. Hence the best way to lay out those ideas would be through 'Compare and Contrast'.

This type of essay would bring out the similarities (common themes) between the movies by comparing them. Hence option A is correct.

Option B: A descriptive essay is a genre of essay that describes a person, situation or a particular experience. It does not suit the given title.

Option C: A narrative essay tells a story. The given title doesn't.

Option D: 'Cause and effect' would be suitable for a title that has an impact on something. It isn't appropriate for the given title.

Hence options B, C and D are wrong.
