Form A
Compare and contrast the following story. Use the Venn diagram to show the similarities and differences.
Baseball and Softball

Baseball and softball are two popular sports. Baseball teams have nine players while softball teams,
or what is known as slow-pitch softball, have ten players. Both games share similar equipment,
although there are a few differences in the size and make-up of the equipment. Many slow-pitch
games use a 12-inch ball, while baseball players use a ball that measures from 9 to 9 1/4 inches.
Softball bats may be made of wood, metal, plastic, of fiberglass. Baseball bats are usually made of
ash wood. Batters may bunt and runners may steal bases in baseball, but slow-pitch rules prohibit
bunting and base stealing.

Dream Dawgs Obedience School

"Well, who do we have here?" said the woman who opened the door at the Dream Dawgs Obedience School.
"And how will I tell them apart?"
"Rex is the one with the white spot on his nose,” I said. Even I couldn't tell them apart unless they were facing
me. They were identical chocolate-brown Labrador retrievers with beautiful, shiny coats and long, lean legs.
"Well, come on in. We are just about to start," she said, ushering us into a large room filled with dogs and
owners.
Within seconds, Rusty started barking excitedly at the other dogs. He pulled hard at the end of the leash, and I
had to struggle to hold him. Rex, on the other hand, started shaking like a leaf. He lay down at my feet and
wouldn't budge as he whimpered and glared at the other dogs.
"Now owners, gather round," called the woman. "With your hand, press lightly on your dog's rear and say, 'Sit.'"
I reached down to my left, but friendly Rusty had moved over and was licking the head of a gray poodle. When
I looked to my right, Rex had disappeared behind my legs. I gave his leash a small tug, but he just cowered by
my legs and let out a deep growl. This wasn't going to be easy.
