Brianna always looked forward to the winter season in Colorado. Her entire family enjoyed skiing and snowboarding, and she and her sisters had been doing both since they could barely walk. Of course, this year was different. This year, Brianna was finally old enough to compete in the local snowboarding competition, and she couldn't wait to show off her skills.

The author's purpose in this passage is to

describe
entertain
inform
persuade

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. To entertain

Step-by-step explanation:

In general terms, texts can have four main purposes to persuade, to inform, to describe or to entertain. In the case of entertaining this includes texts written mainly with the objective of amusing the audience, this occurs when telling a story, because most stories do not aim at convincing the audience about an idea or teaching the audience about some topic but aim at catching the attention of the readers and keeping them occupied for some time.

This is the purpose of the text presented, because the author of this text is only telling a story and he or she includes elements such as "Brianna always looked forward to the winter season in Colorado" or "she couldn't wait to show off her skills" that catch the attention and amuse the reader.

Answer 2

The author's purpose in this passage is to entertain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Throughout the entire passage, the author narrates a story about Brianna and her family, anticipating a life-changing event for which Brianna is excited about. This is a typical example of a fictional narrative, and unlike other texts such as informative ones, it focuses on communicating a story, using characters and developing a plot.
