Solution

failed

The answer is "In comparison."

Explanation for each option:

  • In like manner: This phrase is used to indicate similarity or to show that something is done in a similar way. Since the question is about discussing differences, this is not the appropriate choice.

  • Consequently: This word is used to indicate a result or effect of a previous statement. It does not signal a comparison of differences, so it is not suitable for this context.

  • In comparison: This phrase is used to highlight differences or similarities between two or more items. Since the question is about discussing the differences between Arizona and Rhode Island, "In comparison" is the best choice.

  • In spite of: This phrase is used to indicate a contrast or contradiction, often when something happens despite an obstacle or opposing factor. While it indicates contrast, it is not specifically used for comparing differences between two entities, making it less suitable than "In comparison" for this context.
