Thesis: You will compare two types of new car to discover which one is better for you to buy.
You will conclude through this comparison which car is better for you to buy.

Maint.CAR BPriceMPG
Maint.Conclusion=CAR A is better (for you)
METHODS OF COMPARISON II The second approach is to organize the comparison according to
your points of comparison, like so:
Intro=ThesisPrice
CAR ACAR BMPG
CAR ACAR BMaint.CAR ACAR B
