Which word means to find similarities between things?

• A. Closure
• B. Conventions
• C. Credible
• D. Compare

Answer: (D)

Finding similarities between things is what comparing is all about. When you compare, you look at two or more items side by side and note what they have in common—their likenesses, features, or attributes. That makes the word to compare the right fit for this prompt.

For example, you might say, “We compared the two reports to see where they matched,” which clearly shows the process of identifying similarities.

The other words point to different ideas: closure is about ending or finishing something; conventions are established norms or practices; credible describes something believable or trustworthy. None of these mean the act of identifying likenesses, which is why they don’t fit here.
