Read the paragraph. last summer, my family took a vacation to the sandy beaches of mexico. i will never forget the first time i laid eyes upon the majestic waves of the pacific ocean. i knew then and there that my greatest passion had blossomed and that one day i would become a marine biologist. based on the author’s word choice, what is the purpose of the paragraph? to inform to narrate to persuade to investigate

The correct answer is C. To narrate

Explanation:

In writing, texts can have different purposes that include to inform that is about providing information about one subject or situation; to persuade that focuses on convincing the reader about some idea and to narrate that aims at telling a story. In the case of the paragraph presented, in this paragraph, the author mainly aims at telling the reader about a trip to Mexico and the way this changes his/her life as through the trip the passion towards the ocean blossomed. This implies, in this case, the purpose is not to persuade the reader because the author does not try to convince the reader; neither it is to inform because the author is not explaining any topic but instead the author is telling a story, thus the purpose is to narrate.

exit emilia

emilia exits.

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.

enter othello

340look, where he comes. not poppy nor mandragora

nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,

shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep

which thou owedst yesterday.
