Explanation:

In a comparative essay the writer compares at least two things that may have some similarities or differences. These items can differ according to the assignment. From the options, the first one states "The editorial "Adoption Is the Only Choice” and the news article "Animal Shelters Overpopulated” both discuss the same topic, but they serve different purposes."
