what comparison strategy does the author use in the passage?
○ money-versus-time comparison
○ idea-by-idea comparison
○ subject-by-subject comparison
○ point-by-point comparison

Explanation:

The author compares working and not working students across multiple points (Money, Time Management, Future Employment). For each point, both working and non - working scenarios are analyzed, which is the point - by - point comparison strategy. Other options don't fit: money - versus - time is too narrow, idea - by - idea and subject - by - subject don't match this structure.

Answer:

point - by - point comparison
