Choices

Wrong Tales from Outer Suburbia was published in 2008, and Tales from the Inner City was published in 2018.

7

Choice-B

Choice B is incorrect because it does not emphasize the similarity between the two books by Shaun Tan. Instead, it focuses on contrasting the settings (suburban vs. inner city setting) of the two books.

Wrong Unlike Tales from the Inner City, Shaun Tan’s book Tales from Outer Suburbia is set in suburban neighborhoods.

8

Choice-C

Choice C is incorrect because it compares the number of stories (a quantitative difference) instead of pointing out a thematic or content-based similarity.

Wrong Shaun Tan’s book Tales from Outer Suburbia, which describes surreal events occurring in otherwise, ordinary places contains fewer short stories than Tales from the Inner City does.

Choice D is correct because it directly states the shared theme: both books describe surreal events occurring in otherwise ordinary places, which emphasizes the similarity the student wants to highlight.
