Read each passage:


"Capybara"

The capybara is the world's largest rodents. Capybaras can weigh up to 145 pounds. They love the water and spend most of their time in swamps, ponds, and rivers. If you want to see a capybara in the wild, you will need to go to Central or South America.


"Crocodiles and Alligators"

Crocodiles and alligators look very much alike, but there are ways to tell them apart. The crocodile has a pointy snout, while the alligator’s snout is rounder. The crocodile weighs less than the alligator and can move faster. Both animals have an extra-long lower tooth. When the crocodile’s mouth is closed, you can see this long tooth. However, when the alligator’s mouth is closed, the tooth is hidden inside the mouth.


The two passages are:

similar because both passages compare and contrast animals.

different because "Crocodiles and Alligators" explains the cause and effect of crocodiles and alligators, on the other hand, "Capybara" describes capybara by giving details.

similar because both passages describe different animals by giving details.

different because "Crocodiles and Alligators" compare and contrast crocodiles and alligators while "Capybara" describes capybara by giving details.
