Question

What words serve as clues for readers of comparison/contrast writing?
a. Signal words
b. Research words
c. Boldface words
d. Multisyllabic words

anonymous · Answer

in compare/contrast writing you need to be able to isolate important information after only glancing through the material. Not all compare/contrast writing involves research. Very rarely are important terms written in boldface. There are many multisyllabic words that are not necessarily important to the main ideas. 
Hope this helps.
