Answer:

D). To tell the story of how a child was made into a soldier.

Explanation:

The author's purpose is described as the chief reason or the intent for which the author has produced a specific work. It could be to amuse, inform, entertain, or merely share a significant incident.

In 'A Long Way Gone', Beah's purpose is to 'relate a story of a child transforming into a soldier' and the 'long way'(as implied by the title) that the child has gone through to become a soldier. Beah's intention is to portray the challenges and struggle faced by the child to reach the position of a 'soldier'. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Incomplete question. But I inferred you are referring to the article "A Guide to Exiles, Expatriates, and Internal Emigrés" by Mary McCarthy. The paragraph reads;

"More than anybody (except lovers), exiles are dependent on mail. A Greek writer friend in Paris was the only person I knew to suffer real pain during the events of May, 1968, when the mail was cut off..".

Answer:

to show an exemption

Explanation:

This exemption could read this way;

"With the exemption of lovers, exiles are dependent on mail more than anyone". What this means is that lovers use mails far more than exiles because of their emotional connection. But when you are not lovers, then exiles do more of mailing than you do.
