解説

The Japanese term “異同等” is often translated in various ways, such as “similarities and differences,” “similarities, differences, etc.,” and others. However, in terms of meaning, the difference between these translations, in particular in the case of the above text, is not particularly significant, and in such a case, it is best to adopt the simplest translation for ease of reading.
