Question & Answer
Which of the following statements best describes the author’s purpose for writing this selection
1 Answer
Verified archiveTo provide a correct answer, I would need more context from the selection. However, based on the options given, if the passage focuses on the behavior or intelligence of dolphins in a narrative form, then:
B. to entertain the reader with a story about two smart dolphins could be a suitable answer if the content is more story-based.
If the goal was to inform or provide a warning, then options A or C could be appropriate based on that context.
