Set 8: Cross-Text Connections
Explanation
PASSAGE
Text 1 Butterflies start life as caterpillars. They eat leaves and grow for weeks before forming a chrysalis. Text 2 Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar's body changes completely. When it comes out, it has wings and can fly.
Which choice best describes the process shown across the texts?
Detailed Answer Explanation
This question asks you to compare perspectives from two passages. Text 1: Start as caterpillar. Text 2: Change to wings/fly. Process: Metamorphosis. Understanding how the authors relate to each other's views is essential. Identify whether they agree, disagree, or address different aspects of the topic. Focus on their specific claims and conclusions. When comparing texts, first identify each author's thesis or main argument. Then determine how these positions interact: do they complement each other, contradict each other, or address different aspects of the same issue? The relationship between texts reveals deeper meaning.
Key Evidence:
• "start ... as caterpillars"
• "comes out ... has wings"
Why others are wrong: A (Mentions eating, not why.), D (False.), B (No catching.).
