Question

When I decided that I would volunteer for the park clean-up project, I went about trying to convince my friends to do the same. I had not expected to meet with such resistance. My friends thought I was nuts to spend a Saturday cleaning up other people's trash. So, I went alone. Never in my wildest dreams did I realize what a rewarding experience this would be.
Which BEST describes the author's purpose for his reflective essay?
A. to describe a meaningful experience
B. to persuade readers to volunteer
C. to explain a decision-making process
D. to describe an opinion about volunteering

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is A. to describe a meaningful experience

Explanation:

In this passage, it is true that the author was surprised that his friends were not thrilled with the idea of volunteering, but the real accent is not on that. The author's real wish is to put accent on his "rewarding experience" which he wants to describe.
