The topic of the essay is <em>c) exploring ideas about sacrifice</em>
The purpose of the essay is <u>b) to inform the reader about sacrifices</u>
Explanation:
<em>Exploring ideas about sacrifice</em> - Let me give you a clue: right at the beginning, the first instruction for the essay says <em><u>'Write an </u></em><em><u>informative </u></em><em><u>essay explaining'...</u></em> Informative essays are written with the purpose of educating the reader, which means debate or criticism would not comply with its main purpose. Remember there exist different kinds of essay, which follow very specific guidelines. Just doublecheck the instructions at the beginning, and you will get a clearer idea on what it would be more suitable to write down, besides considering the characteristics of that specific essay.
<em>Inform the reader about sacrifices </em><em>- </em>Once again: if the main purpose of this essay is to inform or educate the audience, then entertainment or arguments would be two non-required features for an informative one (it is undeniable that debates, arguments, crticism or entertainment essays might sound 'more interesting' than informative, but always remember, <em>informative is not a synonym of boring</em> <em>!</em>)
As a tip, just find reliable sources to support your essay, then add some 'spicy' elements - which can be the way you explain the information (words, terms and vocabulary), choosing a good pace to narrate the information you need to present, even graphs, icons, pictures, etc. (if you are allowed to, sometimes text is the only accepted feature), and eventually, keep in mind you must balance the 'sobriety' in the info you present with creative examples. I am sure you will do great!
