10. Indicate the purpose of the following paragraph:

some parents may say that disciplining a child is not necessary; however, discipline is needed to teach a child right from wrong. By punishing their child, parents are letting the child know that the behavior for which the child is being reprimanded is not acceptable. For example, if the child is at the grocery store with his mother and takes a candy bar without permission, the mother could discipline her child for stealing. This would install the knowledge that stealing is wrong. Or if the child is throwing a temper tantrum at the house for not getting something he or she wants, the mother could chastise her child for incorrect behavior. this would instill the knowledge that uncivil behavior is wrong. By disciplining a child, a parent is teaching a child right from wrong.

a) entertain
b) classify
c) persuade
d) inform

I believe the answer is D) Inform

Explanation:

This paragraph is stating facts and reasons why disciplining your child is right.

The only other option it could be is persuade, but I think inform is a better fit.  

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.  

i believe that the answer is b! i hope i out!
