Question

Which topic is suitable for a comparison-and-contrast essay?

A. the gas mileage of American cars
B. the difficulty of increasing gas mileage
C. the average price of gasoline in Europe
D. differences between gasoline motors and electric motors

Answer 1

I would go with D because it gives you two topics to discuss. You can then compare and contrast the two.

Answer 2

It is answer D! A compare and contrast essay compares the differences and similarities of a topic, hence "differences between" in the beginning of answer D.
