Answer:

The author's purpose for "The Challenge" is to "entertain" readers.

Explanation:

When writing a story, the author sets his/her purpose of either<em> entertaining, persuading or informing readers. </em>"The Challenge" is an example of a story that entertains because it tries to capture the<u> attention of the readers</u> in the character of Jose. Jose wanted to get<em> Estela's attention</em>, thus, he challenged her to a racket ball game.

Unknowingly, Estela beat Jose in the game. <em>This keeps the readers wanting to know more on what's going to happen next. </em>If the reader is a boy, he may pretend to be Jose while if the reader is a girl, she may pretend to be Estela. Since such events are <em>possible to happen in the life of the readers</em>, it can then be classified as entertaining.

So, this explains the answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

Right Pane.

We are back to Ivan. We found out how he felt about getting married. He was not thrilled, he was not head over heals. He was ... accepting. He was cold blooded like a reptile. He weighed carefully what he thought were her virtues.

  • She was passable good looking.
  • She had property, and he hoped income.
  • She was acceptable to the society he lived in.
  • What's not to like? So he married.

The third one is not a big consideration, but it is a consideration. The fact that she was proper added to what he thought of her.

So what to pick?

The last three are not mentioned. So they are not a consideration. He doesn't say, for example, that he yearns for company.

Is there a comment in there about the middle class? Not even inferred. So B is incorrect.

Though it is a minor consideration, A has to be your answer.

Center Pane

Terror, aborrance, decay, suggestive shadows. All these things are present. But he is also thrilled by them. Complex man. He appeals to us for the same reason some people go to horror movies just to be scared out of their minds.

I'd pick B but you could defend at least 3 of them.

Left Pane

I'd pick the first and the last.

You haven't got time to do much else. Certainly the 3rd one is out of the question. I don't think you should be doing the fourth one. Let your essay do that for you. And the second one is almost irrelevant at this point.

First and last.
