Question

Read this scenario:

A high school soccer team wants to win the state championship. Together the players create a training plan and write a contract for each player to sign to express his or her commitment to the team goal. They face a lot of challenges through the season with unexpected losses and player injuries. They continue to work hard and encourage one another, and in the end, they win the championship.
What is most likely the author's purpose in this story?
A. To warn readers about the negative aspects of team sports
B. To teach a lesson about teamwork and determination
C. To express the importance of school sports
D. To criticize the athletic department at a school

Answer 1

A and D can automatically be eliminated since at no point does the author say anything negative in the story. B and C are left, but seeing how the story talks about working together and not giving up, B should be the answer.

Answer 2

The answer should be B. To teach a lesson about teamwork and determination.

The paragraph is basically about even though the team had a lot of challenges and difficulties but they still didn't give up and won. So it's not about anything like negative aspects of sports or to criticize anything
