Which sentence should come next in the paragraph to best maintain the compare-and-contrast text structure?

Step-by-step explanation:

i took my unit test and the answer was right

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

The correct answer is, "D. However, they don't take up a lot of space." The answer is A because if the person was to keep a compare-contrast they would need to talk about both animals. Sentence A talks about both animals, not just a singular animal. It says how both animals don't take up a lot of space. This keeps the compare-contrast theme.

Hope this helped! Have a wonderful day!
