Explanation:

Question 3

The key phrase "compare and contrast" means to identify both similarities (compare) and differences (contrast) between two items. The first option matches this definition, while the others describe different tasks (sorting, defending a claim, describing).

The word "reflect" in the prompt implies sharing personal thoughts, experiences, or insights about a situation (giving advice to someone). The first option aligns with this, as reflecting on an event involves sharing one's own perspective and thoughts. The other options describe explaining meaning or evaluating something, which do not fit "reflect".

Answer:

A. Point out similarities and differences between the two articles.
