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

  • I will tell you a story that is only half true.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Hi Susan,

I  hope you are doing fie. As you were admited to what it used to be my school I'm going to give you some tips that will hlep you.

The school colors are blue and yellow, be sure to not wear the colors of the rival's school, which are green and white, on important dates such as football games or any other event. The students take very seriously their colors and what they mean.

If you want to read or study in a quiet room you should go to the library on the second floor. It is so big that it feels s if you are alone there, but remenber to not eat there or Mrs. Colton will tell you to leave.

The teachers are frienfly and ready to help you if you have any problem. Remember to be respectuful toward them and to always make your hoework, specially with Mr. Sulivan, he doesn't tolerate lazyness at all.

I hope that these tips are helpful and that you have a great year! If you have any doubt or need advice, tell me, I will be happy to help you!.

Best wishes.

Your Sister.
