Read and compare what two students have to say about baseball. passage 1 "i hope you can come watch me play this season. my team is the grove gators, and we are undefeated. yay! i play shortstop, and it is hard work. coach has taught me a few tricks, and i have practiced nonstop. let's hang out at the ballfield." passage 2 "cal ripken is one of baseball's most famous shortstops. he played for the baltimore orioles and won the world series in 1983. he played the most consecutive baseball games in history."
which similarity is found when comparing these two passages? a. both passages are written to explain the rules of baseball. b. both passages are written in a casual, informal tone. c. both passages mention the shortstop position in baseball. d. both passages mention a famous baseball player.

I believe the answer is C. Both passages mention the shortstop position in baseball.

Explanation:

Even though both passages are about baseball, they are mostly different. The first one presents a more informal tone. The speaker conveys his/her feelings to readers, and actually invites them to "hang out at the ballfield". The second passage is formal; the speaker's purpose is to provide readers with information concerning a specific baseball player. The similarity we can find between the passages is the fact that they both mention the shortstop position. In the first passage, it is the position the speaker plays. In the second one, it is the position the famous baseball player Cal Ripken played.
