Read the excerpt from a letter. parkour, also known as free running, is becoming a popular sport. the object of parkour is to navigate obstacles using fluid, efficient movement. athletes run through urban areas using gymnastic-type leaps and jumps to move over and around walls, ledges, and other barricades. the sport’s name originates from parcours du combattant, an obstacle course used to train soldiers in the french army. what is the author’s purpose? to entertain the reader with an interesting story to provide examples of parkour movements to educate the reader about a popular sport to persuade readers that parkour is dangerous

The correct answer is "to educate the reader about a popular sport". The author explicitly mentions that Parkour is a popular sport and how it works, that is its objectives, activities and the significance of its name. Opcion A 'to entertain the reader with an interesting story' is not accurate as the passage clearly gives a description, not a story. Option B is not a complete answer, as the author does not just include examples of Parkour movements, he/she mentions other details. Option D 'to persude readers that parkour is dangerous' is not mentioned or implied in the passage.
