Teaching cognates and differences in sentence structure; discuss similarities and differences with a partner.

• A. Knowledge
• B. Comparisons
• C. Connections
• D. Communities

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is making comparisons. Teaching cognates and differences in sentence structure relies on identifying similarities and contrasts between the languages—how words look or sound similar and how meanings line up, as well as where word order and grammar diverge. Discussing these similarities and differences with a partner reinforces noticing patterns, spotting false cognates, and practicing appropriate constructions in both languages. Knowing is about factual information, connections are links between ideas, and communities are groups of people; none of these focus on the actual process of comparing how languages are alike and different, which is why this option fits best.
