It is important to know the author's purpose because knowing the author's purpose can change how the story is being told. If someone said,"Mom, I would really like this new video game for my birthday." and the author's purpose was to inform, it would be informing the mom that the person wanted the video game. If the author's purpose was to persuade, that person would be persuading the mom to get him the video game.

Which statement best summarizes the central theme of the text?
Mila [183]

Answer:

C) Hard work and pride in one's work are more important than outward success.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from "The Dancer's Dream," the narrator describes how Lily felt before auditioning in front of people. Moreover, the passage reveals her determination, her acceptance, and her realization of what's more important.

When Lily realized that <em>"her dream had already come true. She was a ballerina dancing on a stage . . . doing what she loved and the people she loved the most were there to see it"</em>, she knows she's achieved her goal no matter what the outcome of the audition may be. To her, being able to dance on a stage in front of her parents and Miss Emilie is the only thing important, worthy of every practice and long hours she'd spent.

This passage expresses the <u>central claim that hard work and pride in one's work matters more than outward success that measures one's efforts</u>. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
