This question is missing the excerpt. I will not add it here because it is quite long, but the complete question can be easily found online. The excerpt belong to "The Travels of Marco Polo".

Answer:

The option that indicates that the author's purpose is to inform readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar is:

A. The author shares facts and specific details about the difficulty of sailing in the region.

Explanation:

Marco Polo was a Venetian adventurer who lived from 1254 to 1324. "The Travels of Marco Polo" is a book based on his trips and discoveries and written by Rusticiano de Pisa, who met Polo and had the chance to hear the adventurer himself tell the stories.

<u>In the excerpt that can be found online, the author is informing readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar. The passage is written as it it were Polo himself describing the difficult travel conditions in the region. He provides readers with facts about the currents that prevent ships from going a certain direction. According to him, the currents are always southward. A ship may take 20 days to go a certain way, but three months to return precisely because of the currents.</u>

Naily [24]

With the use of epistrophe and careful diction Dillard is able to show the connection of the human and weasel in the first and last two paragraphs.

<u>Explanation:</u>

"It would be well, proper, and, obedient, and pure"

                                                                               - Annie Dillard

The use  of 'and' in the beginning sentence holds her emotions and excitement throughout the passage. With the use of epistrophe and careful diction Dillard is able to show the connection of the human and weasel in the first and last two paragraphs.

She replicates the structure of the first passage in the last passage. She uses metaphor in the last passages that depicts the punch line in the second sentence.

The main idea of this paragraphs is that, the structure holds the emotional connection of the essay as well as the connection between Weasel and her. Weasel is humanized in the flow of these paragraphs.
