Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ The \ author's \ reason \ for \ writing }}$

Explanation:

The author's purpose is exactly as it sounds: the purpose for the author's writing.

There are three main purposes, in the acronym PIE:

• P: Persuade
• I: Inform
• E: Entertain

So, in other words, it is the author's reason for writing, and choice D is correct.
