Answer:

Leafing—a gardener tends plants that have leaves

Explanation:

A landscape can be Urban as well, but plants do tend to have leafs. It's a noticeably odd choice of words and it has a purpose. There's no pun in the use of the words "Enjoy" and "Magazine". But the word leaf can mean two things that relate to the gardener and his action in the excerpt:

<em>"a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade-like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk"</em>

or

<em>"turn over (the pages of a book or the papers in a pile), reading them quickly or casually"</em>

Which aspects of a literary work can help the reader determine the author's purpose?
earnstyle [38]
The word choice and tone are the primary aspects of a written work which can help the reader determine the author's purpose. For example, a satire using caustic words will allow the reader to see that the work is a satire and is aimed at being critical of the subject at hand. On the other hand, a humorous work will have a  lighthearted tone in which the author uses funny words to describe a situation or a person.
