2. Generate {{number}} comparative analysis questions that prompt students to compare and contrast {{conceptA}} and {{conceptB}} within the context of {{field}}.
3. Ensure questions require students to identify similarities, differences, strengths, weaknesses, and underlying assumptions.
4. Encourage critical evaluation by asking students to justify their comparisons with evidence or reasoning.
