Tensions between belonging and not belonging (1 Viewer)

This may sound like a dumb question but what does it mean when they ask about the tensions between belonging and not belonging, for example the independent trial asked:

Which two of these texts most effectively convey the tensions between belonging and not belonging?

Thanks

It's asking for you to point out which text portrays the message of belonging or not belonging effectively.

Compare and contrast the text's ideas, values, themes, etc.
Highlight the techniques used in both text to determine which conveys the aspects of belonging or not belonging better.


I'm thinking that this is a synthesis question?

it could also be asking you about the choice to belong or not belong - should you fit in, or stand out from the crowd?

its hard to tell what exactly they're asking without those short answer texts.
