Question

Analyze where and how conflicting texts disagree?

Answer 1

To compare two informational texts is to examine them side by side and determine how they are the

same. When readers contrast the texts, they determine how the texts are different.

•  When two texts include conflicting information, they make statements that contradict each other.

If two facts conflict with each other, they cannot both be correct at the same time.

•  An author’s interpretation of facts is the way he or she understands them. Two authors may

understand the same fact differently, depending on their own backgrounds and knowledge
