Question 13 (Multiple Answer)

• "Changes depending on your subjects": The purpose of a compare - contrast essay can vary based on the subjects (e.g., comparing two historical events vs. two literary works may have different purposes).
• "Is always to both compare and contrast your subjects": The core of a compare - contrast essay is to analyze both similarities (compare) and differences (contrast) between subjects.
• "Is limited to one subject": A compare - contrast essay requires at least two subjects to compare and contrast, so this is incorrect.
• "Changes depending on your audience's needs or values": If the audience is interested in practical applications, the purpose might focus on how the compared subjects apply, and if they are interested in theoretical aspects, the purpose might be more theoretical.

In the "Nature and Nurture" comparison, the subject - to - subject structure is used. In this structure, one subject (Nature) is fully discussed first, and then the other subject (Nurture) is discussed. The similarities - to - differences structure focuses on first discussing all similarities then all differences, and point - by - point compares and contrasts specific points between the two subjects one by one. "Nature and Nurture" typically uses the subject - to - subject approach.

Answer:

A. Changes depending on your subjects, B. Is always to both compare and contrast your subjects, D. Changes depending on your audience's needs or values
