- How are text 1 and text 2 the SAME?
Answer: Both texts tell facts about apples.
Both texts share the same job: they tell real facts about apples. One text tells where apples grow and how they taste, and the other tells how farmers pick apples and take them to stores. Even though the facts are different, both texts give true information about apples, so that is how they are the same. The choice about baking an apple pie is wrong because neither text tells you how to bake anything. The choice about a make-believe story is wrong because both texts tell real facts, not a pretend story. The choice about only the color of apples is wrong because Text 1 mentions colors, but that is just one small part, and Text 2 does not talk about colors at all.
