Read and contrast two passages about vegetables.

Passage 1

"Vegetable soup is easy to make and delicious to eat. Ingredients for a simple vegetable soup include chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, and peas."

Passage 2

"When planting your vegetable garden, experiment with hybrid breeds and varied planting times. These can make a remarkable difference."

Which difference can be found when contrasting these two passages?

The first passage is written in a humorous tone.

The first passage is written in a formal tone.

The second passage is written for a general audience.

The second passage is written for a specific audience.

D). The second passage is written for a specific audience.

Explanation:

The key difference that could be discovered while contrasting the two passages is that the first passage addresses a general audience while the latter more likely communicates with a specific audience. The former aims to persuade a general audience by telling that 'preparing a vegetable soup (for anyone) is easy as it requires minimum ingredients (chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, and peas') while the second passage directs the specified audience (who are interested in planting a vegetable garden) about the notable difference brought by 'hybrid breeds or varied plantation.' Thus, option D is the correct answer.
