Question

Compare both passages below. What is the purpose of each passage? How does

each passage use supporting details to support its specific purpose?
Passage 1:
Your next tablet should be the upcoming G2 tablet, which is hitting stores this
Thursday. Tired of the slow, glitchy performance of your old, tired tablet? Sick
of having to install update after update, patch after patch, only to deal with the
same subpar performance? Frustrated with the lack of exciting, useful apps
for
your tablet? Treat yourself to the new G2 tablet, on sale Thursday at all A-
Mart locations near you!
Passage 2:
The new G2 tablet is seven inches tall, five inches wide, and a half-inch thick.
It uses the Roboto operating system, which will allow many popular apps and
programs to run on the machine. Most people bring their G2 tablets on the
train or bus and take advantage of the included Wi-Fi card. This convenient,
portable, and useful device will help users run their lives while running their
errands. The G2 tablet is available for purchase at A-Mart starting this
Thursday

Answer 1

Passage 1 and passage 2 are similar because both passages are promoting the new G2 tablet, They're different because passage 1 talks about the cons of your old tablet while passage 2 only talks about the good things of the G2 tablet. The purpose of both passages are to endorse the G2 tablet. Passage 1 uses supporting details by using the statement "tired of the slow, glitchy performance of your old, tired tablet? " and supports it up by using examples of the downfalls of your old tablet as supporting details. Passage 2 uses supporting details by saying ''This convenient, portable, and useful device will help users run their lives while running their errands." and backs that statement up by telling the reader the pros of the tablet using that as supporting details. And the authors purpose is to persuade and inform you about the G2 Tablet.
