Which of the following paragraphs best compares the New Year's Eve traditions in Turkey and Japan, focusing on both similarities and differences?
A) In Turkey, people celebrate New Year's Eve with parties and fireworks, often exchanging gifts. In Japan, they also have parties, but they eat special noodles called 'toshikoshi soba' for good luck. Both countries enjoy the holiday.
B) While both Turkey and Japan celebrate New Year's Eve, their traditions vary significantly. In Turkey, celebrations often involve large family gatherings, festive dinners, and fireworks displays at midnight, symbolizing a fresh start. In contrast, Japanese New Year (Oshogatsu) is a more subdued, family-focused holiday, beginning with 'Joya no Kane' (temple bells ringing 108 times) and traditional foods like 'osechi ryori,' emphasizing purification and reflection rather than boisterous parties.
C) Japanese people eat noodles on New Year's Eve, which is very different from Turkish people who just have dinner. They both like fireworks, but Japanese fireworks are bigger.
D) New Year's Eve in Turkey is all about loud music and dancing, while in Japan, it's very quiet and boring. Nobody does anything fun in Japan.
E) Both countries have New Year's Eve, but I prefer the Turkish one because it's more exciting. Japanese traditions are too old-fashioned for me.
