- If the essay prompt asks for a comparison between two regions, must I deal with
the regions as a whole, or may I compare one country from each region? Either
approach is allowed. You may even treat one region as a whole and deal with the second

answer all parts of the question, you may write an essay that is stronger in one area than
the other.
