Answer: to inform the audience of Gies’s remarkable acts.

The purpose of the excerpt is to inform the reader of the remarkable acts of bravery of Gies. Although her main action (that of hiding the Franks) is well-known, the author wants to bring attention to her other actions, such as sneaking back to the hideaway and retrieving the diary. These actions show that she was a brave and special woman.

If the excerpt is,
<span>If I without discourtesy might quit this board,
And if my liege lady misliked it not,
I would come to your counsel before your court noble.
For I find it not fit, as in faith it is known,
When such a boon is begged before all these knights...

To assay, if such it were, the surfeit of pride
That is rumored of the retinue of the Round Table.
She put this shape upon me to puzzle your wits,...

"No, by God," said Sir Gawain, "that granted me life,
I shall grudge not the guerdon, grim though it prove;
Bestow but one stroke, and I shall stand still,

be paid."

While Olivia listened to the band on stage, she occasionally glanced at her friend Jeremy, who was bopping his head, eyes closed
seropon [69]

The first option, "[she] just couldn't stand another minute of the incessant howling", seems to be the best one to finish the paragraph. First of all, the paragraph has very specific and powerful vocabulary like "bopping his head" and "burst". So a concluding sentence should also have strong vocabulary. In this case "howling" is a very descriptive and powerful verb. Moreover, in the paragraph, the narrator mentions that "[the] lead singer sounded as (...) a dog lost in the woods". Using the word "howling", which is something done by dogs, in the concluding sentence would be consistant with the comparison between the singer and a lost dog.
