Question

Ana is comparing two adaptations of a classical text. She has determined how each author adapts the text and how the adaptations are similar. What is the next step she should take?

describing how the themes of the adaptations are developed
explaining how the adaptations are different from each other
researching the authors’ backgrounds to see how their background affects their style
analyzing the similarities to decide which parts of the stories are most important

Answer 1

explaining how the adaptations are different from each other

Reason: after documenting each adaptation and their similarities, the next logical comparative step is to analyze their differences to show how each author’s choices diverge and what those differences reveal.
