Which statement accurately describes a way in which the jobs of an architect and a carpenter compare?

An architect and a carpenter must both work with other people.
An architect and a carpenter must both complete an apprenticeship.
An architect is required to pass an exam, while a carpenter is not.
An architect constructs buildings, while a carpenter designs buildings.

Answer 1

The statement that accurately describes a way in which the jobs of an architect and a carpenter compare is:

An architect and a carpenter must both work with other people.

The other statements are inaccurate because:

• An architect is required to pass an exam, while a carpenter is not, but that does not compare their jobs in a similar way.
• An architect constructs buildings, while a carpenter designs buildings is the opposite of their actual roles, as architects design and carpenters construct.
• Not both must complete an apprenticeship; only carpenters may learn through a formal apprenticeship or on the job.
