"Secondary sources were created by someone who did not experience first-hand or participate in the events or conditions you're researching. For a historical research project, secondary sources are generally scholarly books and articles. A secondary source interprets and analyzes primary sources."
Grete Samsa, Gregor's sister, most definitely goes through a "metamorphosis" as does every member of the family. Before Gregor's change, Grete is described as a "useless" daughter. She has taken violin lessons, but she isn't very good. She doesn't leave the house often. She is timid and seemingly afraid of the world.

I always get "The Primary Purpose of this passage is to?" wrong on Reading Comp. I'm guessing this is hurting my score as it seems like a simple questions and I always get it wrong.
Any idea on how to nail this??? I started taking notes during the section and it helps. I know what the passage is about, but trying to stick it into one of those GMAT choices is difficult. Suggestions?

Main Idea/Primary Purpose Questions:
Many people believe there is no difference between the main or central idea of the passage and the primary purpose of the author of the passage. This is simply not true. Let's take a look at the subtle but important difference between them:
Main Idea
The question might look something like this:
"Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage?"
"Which of the following most accurately states the main idea of the passage?"
"Which of the following is the principal topic of the passage?"
"The main topic of the passage is...."
Primary Purpose
The question might look like this:
"The primary purpose of this passage is to..."
"The primary purpose of the passage as a whole is to..."
"The primary focus of this passage is on which of the following?"
"The main concern of the passage is to..."
"In the passage, the author is primarily interested in...."
"The passage is chiefly concerned with..."

In context, the fifth paragraph (“Its appeal is inscrutable….”) serves as a transitional element that introduced new thoughts that describe the nature of Filet-O-Fish.
Transitional elements are phrases and words that help to link thoughts and connect ideas.
They can also be used to move from one thought to another.
In the article, "Why the Filet-O-Fish Is My Gold Standard for Fast Food," by Jane Hu, the author used a transitional element in the fifth paragraph to go into a detailed description about the features of the Filet-O-Fish that makes people like it.
So, there is a movement from one thought to another using this element.
(Note that your options are not provided to choose from. However, the answer is a general function of transitional elements.)
