Question

Dear Principal Hayes:I am writing to make a request. During a recent gym class, some of us noticed that our equipment is pretty battered. The balls don't bounce; the exercise mats are torn and flat; and, the volleyball nets have holes. Gym class is my favorite hour of school, so I was wondering if it would be possible to get new equipment. If that is possible, I promise to take responsibility for taking care of the equipment.Sincerely,James Washington Jr. What is the main purpose of James's letter?A. to persuadeB. to informC. to entertainD. to educate

Answer 1

Answer:

I think its a

Explanation:

again I "think" its "A" only because, a inform letter would be more upfront about the equipment issue.

Answer 2

Answer:

The awnser is A: To persuade

Explanation:

"James Washington Jr." is clearly reaching out to "Principle Hayes" because James wants/needs new equipment for his gym class and is trying to persuade the principle in a formal letter. B: is close because he is informing the principle of the state of the gym equipment, but it cannot be "b" becuase, he is asking for gym equipment not just telling the principle about the equipment. It cannot be C: because he is not trying to entertain an anyway, the letter is in formal writing. It cannot be D: because he is not just educating/informing him of the gym equiment that needs to be helped/changed an any way. He wants new gym equiment. And so to do this he has to persuade.
