Flashcards: Compare and contrast

Common ducks are about the same size as common fowls. As the duck in a state of nature lives much upon the water, its form is at nearly every point different from the typical form of the fowl. The duck is usually described as boat-shaped, but, while this is a good description, it would be more correct to say that a boat is duck-shaped. The duck was the natural model for the first builders of boats. The feet of a duck are webbed between the forward toes, which makes them more serviceable as paddles in swimming.

Adapted from Our Domestic Birds: Elementary Lesson in Aviculture by John H. Robinson (1913)

According to the passage, how are ducks and fowls similar?

Your answer:

They are similar in shape

Your answer:

They both have webbed feet

Your answer:

They both resemble boats

Correct answer:

They are similar in size

Explanation:

The correct answer is "They are similar in size." We know this based on the lines, "Common ducks are about the same size as common fowls." We know that ducks and fowls are very different in shape based on the lines, "As the duck in a state of nature lives much upon the water, its form is at nearly every point different from the typical form of the fowl." There is no mention of fowls having webbed feet or being shaped like boats, and so those answer choices are incorrect. The best choice is "They are similar in size."

Flashcards: Compare and contrast

A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws. A timid little Mouse came upon him unexpectedly, and in her fright and haste to get away, ran across the Lion's nose. Roused from his nap, the Lion laid his huge paw angrily on the tiny creature to kill her.

"Spare me!" begged the poor Mouse. "Please let me go and some day I will surely repay you."

The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But he was generous and finally let the Mouse go.

Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils of a hunter's net. Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring. The Mouse knew the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in the net. Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was free.

"You laughed when I said I would repay you," said the Mouse. "Now you see that even a Mouse can help a Lion."

Adapted rom The Aesop for Children, by Aesop (1919 ed.)

How are the lion and mouse different?

Your answer:

The mouse is a predator while the lion is prey

Your answer:

The lion is small and the mouse is large

Your answer:

The lion and the mouse have no differences

Correct answer:

The lion is a predator while the mouse is prey

Explanation:

The correct answer is "The lion is a predator while the mouse is prey." Based on the events in the story, it is clear that the lion is strong and capable of killing and eating the mouse. In the beginning of the story, the lion almost does this, but lets the mouse go instead, laughing at the idea that the mouse may help him later. This shows us that the mouse is small and helpless. The other answer choices do not make sense based on the story, so the best choice is "the lion is a predator while the mouse is prey."
