Answer:

option: D is true.

( D. Similarities and differences between two or more things)

Explanation:

Compare and contrast essays are multi-paragraph compositions that explain ways in which two (or occasionally more) subjects are similar and different. In these essays, compare means describing similarities between the subjects.

When a writer contrasts two things, he or she explains ways in which they are different.

compare and contrast essays can cover almost any topic and may pop up in a variety of subject areas.

Hence, option D is true (D. Similarities and differences between two or more things)
