1.   At first I tried to make a comparison between a large northern comprehensive school and a smaller London church school.

2.   But at this point, no valid comparison can be made between their clocks, for they are separated.

3.   Comparisons can be made and standards judged on quantitive data rather than on subjective opinion.

4.   Exam results are looked at closely, subject by subject, and comparisons are made with previous years and with neighbouring schools.

5.   In her book she makes a comparison between Russian and British ballet.

6.   Making comparisons between brains is a very risky business because there are confounding variables to confuse the issue.

7.   My family was always making unfavourable comparisons between me and my older brother.

8.   Quality expects rewards, experience makes comparisons.

9.   Secondly, different countries have different needs and tastes which can not easily be taken into account in making comparisons.

10.   So Britain is poorly equipped to even consider making any comparisons of the productivity or usefulness of research.
