    Comparison focuses on noting similarities between things, while contrast focuses on differences. Comparison is defined as the act of comparing one thing to another, looking at how they are alike. Contrast meanwhile is defined as comparing things in respect to their differences. For example, comparing an apple and tomato may note they are both red and shiny, while contrasting them would note the apple has black seeds unlike the tomato's white seeds.

    Tasks: Differentiate comparison from contrast.

    Comparison and contrast not only differ in spelling but also in meaning. The word
    comparison is defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary as the act of comparing one thing,
    person, place et cetera. Meanwhile, according to the same dictionary mentioned, the
    word contrast is the act of comparing or appraising in respect to differences. The
    definition of compare and contrast are similar but they are not the same. To explain
    more clearly, let us say we have an apple and a tomato. Comparing them would be
    noting that both the apple and the tomato are red and shiny. On the other hand,
    contrasting would be noting that the seeds of the apple are black unlike the tomato’s
    which are white. In short, comparison or comparing focuses on the similarities, while
    contrast or contrasting focuses on the differences.
