Comparing and Contrasting in My Antonia

Question 12 • AA-F26 Physical Science

Which sentence shows a comparison statement?

Answer
A
The land was growing rougher; I was told that we were approaching Squaw Creek, which cut up the west half of the Shimerdas’ place and made the land of little value for farming.
B
Occasionally one of the horses would tear off with his teeth a plant full of blossoms, and walk along munching it, the flowers nodding in time to his bites as he ate down toward them.
C
I could hardly wait to see what lay beyond that cornfield; but there was only red grass like ours, and nothing else, though from the high wagon-seat one could look off a long way.

Explanation

Choice C makes a comparison with the word “like”: the red grass beyond the cornfield is compared to the grass the speaker already knows (“ours”). That makes it a comparison statement. Choice B describes flowers nodding as the horse eats, but does not directly compare two things.
