Sample question
A student reads a school newsletter article that lists reasons why students should walk to school and ends with a call to join a walking group. What is the most likely purpose of the article?
  • To entertain readers with an imagined story
  • To persuade readers to adopt a behaviour
  • To record a historical event neutrally
  • To explain how a machine operates
Show the worked answer

Answer: B

The reasons followed by a call to join a group show the writer wants readers to act, so the purpose is to persuade. A story, a neutral historical record and a technical explanation would not end with an invitation to change behaviour.
