Answer 1

A. How well do elements of the text help the text achieve its goals?

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many different reasons to analyze a text. Using process of elimination, we can remove the most unlikely options.

Option A works because supporting evidence and analysis by the author is crucial in any text
