Problem 1
Answer and explanation
A defined feature used consistently to compare texts. Choose one shared question that both texts can answer. Asking how a character revises a confident plan lets you examine an initial assumption, a challenge, and a response. Listing unrelated similarities such as both stories having chairs does not establish an interpretation.
Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.
Problem 2
Answer and explanation
Both characters revise a confident arrangement after noticing something it missed. Leila keeps the welcome sign but changes the practical room and feedback process. Mateo keeps the discussion questions but removes fixed seat numbers. The comparison suggests that revising a plan can preserve its useful purpose while changing its limits; the different settings produce different actions.

Problem 3
Answer and explanation
This claim is misleading. Explain a meaningful difference. Leila changes practical access and leaves space for feedback; Mateo removes numbered seating but preserves discussion questions. Their responses share a purpose without being identical. Differences can refine a claim instead of defeating the comparison. Both characters revise a confident arrangement after noticing something it missed. Leila keeps the welcome sign but changes the practical room and feedback process. Mateo keeps the discussion questions but removes fixed seat numbers. The comparison suggests that revising a plan can preserve its useful purpose while changing its limits; the different settings produce different actions.

Problem 4
Answer and explanation
No. A sign and a seating plan can develop related ideas through different actions. Explain the actual relationship instead of treating the objects as interchangeable.
