Which of the following would be the least effective choice to compare and contrast between two texts? a) characters b) style c) themes d) vocabulary

Vocabulary.

Explanation: To compare two literary texts, it is essential to find out the similarities and differences which both the texts have in common. characters are the most important element while comparing two texts as their character traits and representation would offer the basis to compare. Then, style also is crucial while comparing as if we compare two writers having two distinct writing styles as each writer chooses a particular style to emphasize the message they want to convey to the audience, it would propose a better clarity of thoughts. For say, if an expository text is compared to a narrative text, certain differences in manner of portrayal of similar issue in different frames could be witnessed. Comparison of themes would help the readers to go beyond the description and illuminate their critical-thinking. While vocabulary is also significant as it could help to know the author's purpose behind usage of some words. yet among all these vocabulary seems less significant as the other three are the major elements of comparison.

The answer is D. Vocabulary hope this helps!

theres no poem include that

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
