Comparer et opposer

comparison 16 termes 14 questions TOEIC Part 5, Part 6, Part 7

La comparaison est la colonne vertébrale des textes doubles du TOEIC : deux offres, deux plannings, deux candidats, et une question qui demande en quoi ils diffèrent. Savoir que however et nevertheless ne s'échangent pas avec likewise vaut plusieurs points : le connecteur est souvent le seul indice qui dise si la seconde phrase confirme la première ou la contredit.

Chaque phrase propose plusieurs façons de comparer ou d'opposer deux éléments. Choisissez celle qui convient. Dans un cas, toutes les options sont possibles.
