Question 17 • RS AZ-US History A

Which example is the strongest topic sentence for a compare-and-contrast analysis?

Answer
A
The Haida creation myth shows its culture’s values by focusing on nature and the importance of animals.
B
The Māori creation myth shows that this culture values different parts of nature and natural elements more than it values humans.
C
Both the Haida and the Māori value children, but their myths show that they view humans and human nature differently.
D
I am going to write about the Māori and Haida and how they view the world both similarly and differently.

Explanation

A strong compare-and-contrast topic sentence identifies both subjects and states a meaningful similarity and difference. Choice C does this: both cultures value children, while their myths portray humans and human nature differently. Choices A and B discuss only one myth, and D announces the topic without explaining what the comparison will show.
