Neko [114]2 years ago

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.
