to convince readers that Shakespeare's works can only be enjoyed if they are performed, not read

Answer: to provide an example of one teacher's efforts to make Shakespeare more relatable to students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The aforementioned article is based on the opinion of a high school teacher named Dana Dusbiber in Sacramento who does not believe that teaching Shakespeare in this day and age is still relevant due to the world increasingly accepting other cultures.

The author then wrote this section in the article to show the exam of Christine Baker who is also a Sacramento High School teacher who holds the belief that Shakespeare might be old-fashioned, but it shouldn't be scrapped. It should be modernized because the lessons still apply to the present period.
