Question

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!! 75 POINTS!!!!!!

Read the passage:
John is a biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. His study area is the Tanana Valley, a boggy lowland in central Alaska. It's prime black bear habitat, but most of the ground is too wet for dens. Unfortunately, the only dry areas that seem good for dens also happen to be used by the U.S. Army for winter training. So to protect both bears and soldiers, the army hired John to find out where most bears in the area hibernate.

Which best identifies the author's purpose?



A. to inform

B. to entertain

C. to tell a story

D. to persuade

Answer 1

The answer would be A) To inform because its informing of who john is and what he does. Its not B) because it was nothing in there that was funny, not C) because stories are used to entertain and there was no moral here, and not D) because the paragraph wasn't used to convince anyone to do anything.
