What’s the authors purpose for writing the passage?

Answer:

C. To trace the reasons why elephants are endangered

Explanation:

I think this is the correct answer because the author doesn't only describe the illegal ivory trade as an important cause of the elephant's endangerment, it also focuses on the shrinking of their natural habitat.

The author starts describing some of the elephant's most interesting characteristics so the audience feels empathy towards them. Then he starts to mention the causes of their endangerment, first the poaching, and then the reduction of their habitats, making emphasis on the fact that both are very harmful.  

He finishes showing the effors to save this species.

As we can see, he doesn't focus on the behaviour of elephants so option B. is discarded.

Although the author condemns illegal ivory trade, he also focuses on other factors, so it is not option A.

And he mentions the wildlife preserves, he doesn't encourage the readers to go there, he only describe them as solutions.

Hi. First, you have used the wrong spelling of, "which". A witch is a character  ;)

Okay, back to your question. One example of a flashback in the story, "Borders" is when the mom talks about driving to Salt Lake City to visit her daughter.

If you read the story, you might find some other examples. Hope this helps.

Take care,
Diana

Which of the following passages from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address appeals to the audience's emotions? A. "The world...will never
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A. "The world... will never forget what they did here."

Explanation:

The emotional appeal of this passage is that "they" (probably the Confederates) committed an atrocity so great that the entire world will remember its scope. None of the other passages really do anything to appeal to the audience's emotions for lack of phrases that can do so.
