The evil monster loomed above Ella, Kai and Jerome. It was taller than the Empire State Building, and it had green, scaly skin.
Sparks flew out of its ears as it raised its fist. Ella took a deep breath. "Are you ready?" she asked her friends. A to persuade B to inform C to entertain D to persuade, inform and entertain
The best choice for this answer is A because Ella is not entertaining anyone when she asks her friends if they are ready to begin whatever they are about to do. Because she is genuinely asking her friends if they are ready, she is not informing them that she is ready, nor is she telling them that they are ready. She is asking them to persuade them to become “ready” to do whatever they are about to do.
I believe that “chat” is stressed/accented and “el” is unstressed. Similar to the word “present,” where emphasis/accent is placed on “pres.” Hope this helps!
