Explanation

Identify similarities between writers' ideas, uses Identify word choice or imagery, explain the reader effect, and link it to writer purpose for Identify similarities between writers' ideas, because it matches the language method and reader effect focus for Summarising differences and similarities. It separates the skill from weaker choices and keeps the response tied to the exact objective.
