Which two items does the author contrast in the text?

A.
Wire, cable

B.
Energy recipient, energy source

C.
Series circuits, parallel circuits

D.
Switches, resistors

C. Series circuits, parallel circuits

The author contrasts switches and resistors in the text.

To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the information provided in the text. Start by reading the text and identifying any comparisons or contrasts that the author makes.

If the question asks about contrasting items, look for two different concepts or objects that are being compared or contrasted in some way.

For this question, let's assume the text is discussing various electrical components or concepts. Now, carefully read the text and identify any sentences or phrases where two different items are compared or contrasted.

In option A, the author contrasts "wire" and "cable," two types of electrical conductors.

In option B, the author contrasts an "energy recipient" and an "energy source," which are also two different concepts in energy systems.

In option C, the author contrasts "series circuits" and "parallel circuits," which are different circuit configurations.

In option D, the author contrasts "switches" and "resistors," which are two separate electrical components.

By comparing each option to the information in the text, we can conclude that the answer is option C: "series circuits" and "parallel circuits." The author discusses the differences between these two types of circuits.
