The author’s purpose for writing this passage was to ________.
A. prove to the reader that the printing press was a more important invention than social media
B. persuade the reader that social media has been more important than the printing press
C. demonstrate that the printing press and social media have
To determine the author’s purpose, we need to analyze the content and context of the passage in question. If the passage discusses both the printing press and social media, comparing their significance, then the most likely answer would be:
C. demonstrate that the printing press and social media have
This option suggests the author is providing insights on both inventions without asserting one is definitively more important than the other.
When identifying the correct answer in such questions, look for key phrases that indicate whether the text is comparing, contrasting, convincing, or providing evidence for a specific viewpoint.
