It's not completely clear where the options start and stop, but here you go!
"In a house … there were a man and his wife who loved each other very much and were living happily ever after. … they were warned, by that wise old witch … not to take on anyone off the street." Happily ever after and wise old witches are typical fairy tale traits. Also a Prince is typical for fairy tales so this one is also a correct option "<span>the Prince who braves the terrible thicket of thorns to enter the palace and kiss the Sleeping Beauty back to life."</span>

The story could be dubbed as a modern fairy tale. The story takes place "In a house" which indicates that it took place in an unspecified place. The lines "...there were a man and his wife who loved each other very much and were living happily ever after." resembles closing remarks of traditional fairy tales. The line  "... they were warned, by that wise old witch" contains magical elements, namely witch in this context. The line " … as her Christmas present to her son and his wife" is an indication for the use of threes in the lights of a woman, her son and son's wife.

This story is written for entertainment purposes. Which sentence from the passage best supports the authors purpose for writing?
Bogdan [553]

The sentence from the passage that best supports the author's purpose for writing is "I will tell you a story that is only half true,"as stated in option C.

<h3>What is purpose?</h3>

When an author writes a text, he or she has a purpose or an objective by doing so. That means there is something the author wants to accomplish with that text. The most common purposes are:

  • To entertain
  • To persuade
  • To inform

Here, we must find the sentence that supports the idea that the author's purpose is to entertain, that is, to have his or her readers enjoy themselves while reading. In that case, the best option is letter C.

As is revealed by the sentence, " "I will tell you a story that is only half true," readers are not expected to take the story seriously. They will read it knowing very well that it is not even true. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

The complete question with the missing answer choices is the following:

This story is written for entertainment purposes. Which sentence from the passage best supports the author's purpose for

writing?

  • The moonlight would hit the glass just so, causing shadows to appear and the sea creatures to seem almost mythological.
  • I lost my camera with all of my pictures from our trip, the diamond studs I had received as a high school graduation present, and my favorite watch.
  • I will tell you a story that is only half true.
  • I first went out of the country when I was about 20 years old.
