Answer

Address alternative views where appropriate answer: Compare both viewpoints with a similarity, a difference and a whereas link for Address alternative views where appropriate.

Explanation

Address alternative views where appropriate uses Compare both viewpoints with a similarity, a difference and a whereas link for Address alternative views where appropriate because it matches the comparison and viewpoint focus for Developing viewpoint and argument.
