Answer: to connect with the audience.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jane Goodall wrote a book called "Hope for Animals and Their World". The book starts by acknowledging that many people dislike insects. Jane Goodall's purpose of this statement is to connect with her audience. She knows that insects are not popular creatures so if she shows herself as an undestanding person, she will have more possibilities of being listened by her readers even though reader and writer have different opinions about the insects.
