Knowing the author's purpose behind writing is very important. It can change the format or structure of the piece, and even the words the author uses. There are three main categories of author's purpose, which can be remembered using the acronym PIE; this stands for to persuade, to inform and to entertain.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A is wrong because it has a period after, <em>down</em> when it should be a comma. The comma signals that that part of the sentence is what he is saying. He is also capitalized when it should be lower case. B is wrong because it has nothing after, <em>down</em> and nothing after <em>said</em>. C is wrong because again, there's nothing after <em>down.</em> The part option C did get right is the comma after said. D has all the commas in the right places and all the words are capitalized when they're supposed to.
