Before you purchase a used car from a
dealer or an individual, there are important
steps you must take. First, examine the car
using an inspection checklist, which you can
download and print from many websites.
Then test-drive the car under a variety of road
conditions, making sure that it handles well in
many situations. Finally, ask for the car’s
maintenance report and make sure you
understand any repairs made on the car.

"Good morning, Sal!" Uncle Freddie said. "Thanks
for coming in so early today." Uncle Freddie
danced as he spoke. Sal yawned. He did
not know how his uncle woke up so cheerfully
before dawn every day. Uncle Freddie placed
a tray of cookies in front of Sal. "I need you
to decorate these," he said. He handed Sal
several tubes of icing.

The hole created by the meteorite's impact,
known as the Barringer Meteorite Crater, can
still be seen today. It is one mile wide and
over 550 feet deep—20 football games could
be played at the same time on its floor, and
more than two million people could watch from
its sloping sides.

You know the feeling: it’s minutes until the
school bus comes, but you just rolled out of
bed, threw on some clothes, barely brushed
your teeth, and now you’re racing out the door
to catch the bus. You skip breakfast again.
That’s three days this week alone! It’s no wonder,
then, that by second period you start to feel awful,
with your stomach grumbling and your eyelids
drooping. My fellow classmates, listen up! You
may be surprised by how a few simple changes
in your life can have a huge effect on how you
feel morning, noon, and night!

Answer 1

THAT ANSWER IS CORRECT!!!

Answer 2

Paragraph 1: instructs. The author tells a person the steps he/she should take. The purpose of the paragrah is to educate, that is instruct

Paragraph 2: narrates. The paragraph is a clear example of a story. And the main purpose of stories is to narrate. Also there are no instances of description.

Paragraph 3: Describes. The author tells the details of a crater, its size, features, etc. The kind of information included and the way it is written is characteristic of a description.

Paragraph 4: Persuades. Even thought there is narration and description, the primary purpose is to persuade the reader to have breakfast every day. You can tell by the exclamative structures the author uses, as well as the way the information is presented, putting emphasis on the effects caused by not having breakfast.
