Read this paragraph and answer the question below.


	can run but cannot fly.
	have feathers and lay eggs.
	can swim and fly.

Diagrams are wonderful tools for organizing information in a visual way. Venn diagrams, for example, were created to show how different things can be compared. A Venn diagram has 2 or more circles. These circles overlap each other where things being compared are similar. The parts of the circles which do not overlap represent differences. Venn diagrams can help you process information faster and more efficiently. For example, questions in tests often ask you to compare different things. So next time you prepare for a test, try to make Venn diagrams to check that you remember what you have studied.

Response:
