Students in a science class were studying two different environments: the desert and the rainforest. They were asked to plan a comparison paper about the two environments. They used the following t-chart.

Question

A 2 column t chart with no entries. Column 1 is labeled blank and column 2 is labeled Rainforest.

What should be written in the blank space?

the title “Desert”
the title “Not Rainforest”
information about the rainforest
information about the desert

Answer 1

In the blank space of the t-chart, you should write “Desert”.

This way, the chart can effectively compare the two environments: one column detailing characteristics of the desert and the other detailing characteristics of the rainforest.
