"Television news coverage of the Iraq War emphasized dramatic and extreme acts of violence, while the articles in print magazines emphasized the difficulties of daily life in Iraq" (D) is the best comparative essay statement for the following reasons:

  • it distinctly announces the two elements which are going to be compared in the text, unlike statement C) for example, and shows how they differ from each other;
  • it makes it clear what the subject of the essay is (the situation in Iraq during the war);
  • it is factual and not based on opinion, unlike statement A) for example.
