To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each sentence and decide if it is comparing (showing how things are alike) or contrasting (showing how things are different).
Key Rules:
*
CP (Compare): Look for words like "both," "same," "like," "also," or sentences that show a shared trait.
*
CT (Contrast): Look for words like "however," "whereas," "unlike," "on the other hand," "but," or sentences that show a difference.
