The paragraph missing from the question is the following:
<em>The IT department is in the process of overhauling our website. This update will require the implementation of a separate server for our company intranet and e-mail. This conversion will require a 24-hour downtime. As a result, all intranet and e-mail services will be unavailable on Saturday. </em>
Answer:
To inform the reader that the company intranet and e-mail services will be unavailable on Saturday.
Explanation:
The author explains what the IT department will do and how long its activities will be only to inform why the company intranet and e-mail services will be unavailable. The major purpose of the paragraph is to inform the reader that the company intranet and e-mail services will be unavailable on Saturday. The whole text revolves around that point because if we were to remove the non-essential information of the text, everything would be removed except for the part that informs that such services will be unavailable on Saturday.

Answer:
"You are going near the post office?" Mrs. Reid asked her husband. 
"Yes," he said. "Is there anything you want?"
"Could you get me a small registered envelope, please?" Mrs. Reid said, "I've got to send some money to my sister in Guyana."
"Ok," Mr. Reid said. "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available." 
Explanation:
There are many ways that this paragraph could be punctuated. However, in my interpretation, I used commas to integrate my quotation marks, etc. 
For example:
"Ok," Mr. Reid said. "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available." 
I decided to add a period to the end of "said." However, you could choose to do it differently. For example, you could choose to write it like this: 
"Ok," Mr. Reid said, "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available."  
(Notice how I replaced the period with a comma? That simply means that "Ok and "I'll get a Coulee" is all one sentence versus two sentences. Both versions are grammatically correct. The writer simply needs to choose which one s/he wants.)
