ideas conveyed with objects, conditions, or other
things that have similarities or differences. The goal
is to strengthen the writer's ideas in order to convince
the reader.
Example:
“Soy milk is known as a source of protein, but
the protein content in soy milk is much smaller than
that of cow's milk. According to one source, the
protein content of soy milk is 6.73 grams, compared
to 8.02 grams of cow's milk.”
In the first sentence, the author compares the
protein content of soy milk with cow's milk. This
comparison is proven by data from one source that
states that the protein content of soy milk is much
smaller than cow's milk.
These patterns of development in exposition texts
serve to structure the information logically, enhance
clarity and coherence, and engage the readers effectively.
By utilizing these patterns strategically, writers can
present information or arguments in a systematic and
compelling manner, ultimately achieving the intended
purpose of the text.
