The sentence from the passage that best supports the author's purpose for writing is "I will tell you a story that is only half true,"as stated in option C.

<h3>What is purpose?</h3>

When an author writes a text, he or she has a purpose or an objective by doing so. That means there is something the author wants to accomplish with that text. The most common purposes are:

  • To entertain
  • To persuade
  • To inform

Here, we must find the sentence that supports the idea that the author's purpose is to entertain, that is, to have his or her readers enjoy themselves while reading. In that case, the best option is letter C.

As is revealed by the sentence, " "I will tell you a story that is only half true," readers are not expected to take the story seriously. They will read it knowing very well that it is not even true. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

The complete question with the missing answer choices is the following:

This story is written for entertainment purposes. Which sentence from the passage best supports the author's purpose for

writing?

  • The moonlight would hit the glass just so, causing shadows to appear and the sea creatures to seem almost mythological.
