English A HL exam practice: Develop comparison and contrast through clear criteria

English A Language and Literature HL Paper 2 practice. A student is answering a concept-based comparative question about belonging using two literary works by different authors. Which planning decisions build comparison and contrast rather than theme matching? Select the choices, then justify them in your own words. AI will analyse your answer. Use the visual organiser as the stimulus record, but do not copy its wording as your explanation.

Worked practice: build the analysis

Construct the analysis one move at a time, the way an examiner reads it: focus, evidence, technique, then effect.
