Answer:

Parts of speech.

Step-by-step explanation:

As seen in the question, the dictionary entry contains the pronunciation, the origin of the word, and the parts of speech it represents/ belongs to.

Whereas, the thesaurus entry only points out the parts of speech it belongs to and the synonyms and the antonyms of the said word.

Looking at the two entries, the only thing they have in common is the parts of speech that are provided alongside the word.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.
