The best answer to how Christianity is similar to Judaism is:

b. Christianity and Judaism are monotheistic religions

Both religions believe in one God, which is a central tenet of their faiths.

Here’s a brief explanation of the other options:

  • a. The Tanakh is the holy text of Christians and Jews: While the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) is a holy text for Jews, Christians primarily refer to the Old Testament, which includes some of the text of the Tanakh but is arranged differently and includes additional writings.

  • c. The Sabbath is celebrated in both Christianity and Judaism: This is partially accurate; however, the Sabbath is more prominently observed in Judaism on Saturday. Christians traditionally celebrate Sunday as a day of worship, though it does not hold the same significance as the Sabbath in Judaism.

  • d. Christians and Jews believe in more than one god: This statement is incorrect as both religions are monotheistic, meaning they believe in only one God.

Therefore, option b is the most accurate comparison.
