Question

We called my little brother the "the Vacuum," because by the age of two, he devoured any food you put in front of him. Pizza, salad, Brussels sprouts—it didn’t matter. One moment his plate would be heaped with food; the next, he would be smiling and licking his lips. The paragraph was written to

A) inform readers about the nutritional needs of the main character.
B) inform readers about the negative effects of overeating.
C) entertain readers with a description of the main character’s eating.
D) persuade readers that the main character is a messy eater.

Answer 1

Hello there,

Your correct answer would be C) entertain readers with a description of the main character’s eating.

I understand how this could be the answer because of reading the little passage and how it can relate with each answer choice.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

The best answer is C) entertain readers with a description of the main character’s eating.

The passage is light-hearted and informal, and described, probably in an exaggerated way, the speed with which "The Vacuum" would devour his food. The primary purpose seems to be to entertain, rather to inform, warn, or persuade.
