Explanation:

• "to examine similarities between two types of building materials" - compare and contrast is used to look at similarities and differences, so this matches compare and contrast.
• "to outline the process of conducting an environmental impact study" - description is used to detail a process or thing, so this matches description.
• "to present the conflicts created by building a new superhighway" - cause and effect can be used to show how the building of the superhighway (cause) leads to conflicts (effect), so this matches cause and effect.
• "to show how a new infrastructure impacts local ecosystems" - cause and effect is appropriate as it shows the cause (new infrastructure) and its effect on local ecosystems.

Answer:

• to examine similarities between two types of building materials: compare and contrast
• to outline the process of conducting an environmental impact study: description
• to present the conflicts created by building a new superhighway: cause and effect
• to show how a new infrastructure impacts local ecosystems: cause and effect
