Select the correct answer.

Tracy wants to start a computer coding club at her neighborhood youth center. The center requires at least 10 people to form a club. Tracy decides to publish a short article for the center’s website to gain support for the club. Which purpose should she keep in mind while writing the article?
A.
to entertain
B.
to persuade
C.
to instruct
D.
to express

Answer 1

Answer: To persuade. Persuasion is a big thing when writing articles offering something. You have to make the reader believe it is worth it by including the pros of what you're offering. That can be classified as persuasion. You don't want to force the person to participate in the computer coding club by INSTRUCTING them. Nor do you want to entertain them in the article. She also wouldn't be expressing anything. Therefore, your answer would be B) To persuade.
