Expression of Ideas - Rhetorical Synthesis

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Started in 1925, the Scripps National Spelling Bee is a US-based spelling competition.
  • The words used in the competition have diverse linguistic origins.
  • In 2008, Sameer Mishra won by correctly spelling the word “guerdon.”
  • “Guerdon” derives from the Anglo-French word “guerdun.”
  • In 2009, Kavya Shivashankar won by correctly spelling the word “Laodicean.”
  • “Laodicean” derives from the ancient Greek word “Laodíkeia.

The student wants to emphasize a difference in the origins of the two words. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
