Answer 2

The correct answer is option A. I and II. An author's purpose is to inform as well as to persuade.

Authors write for a wide range of reasons. Those reasons are known as the author's purpose. Depending on the purpose, authors may choose all different sorts of writing formats, genres and vernacular. A simple way to summarize the three main categories of author's purpose is to employ the acronym PIE, which stands for persuade, inform and entertain.
