Explanation:

First Question (Contrasting Essay Subjects)

To write a contrasting essay, subjects need differences to analyze. "Broad" is about scope, "similar" is for comparison, "narrow" is scope too. "Different" gives contrasts to discuss.

A Venn - diagram is designed to show similarities (overlap) and differences (non - overlap) of sets, so it sorts them into categories. An outline structures content, a list just lists, a chart is more general.

Answer:

different
