What is the teacher's purpose behind giving short answer tests?

To give the students a break

Explanation:

Short-answer and short-essay questions are types of assessment questions that require test takers to draft answers from scratch in an open-response format. These are different from more rigid questions like multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blank questions, which have a format that naturally limits the type of answer a test taker can provide. In multiple-choice questions, for example, one can only select from the answers provided. Short-answer questions, by contrast, require that the student thoroughly understand the topic being assessed because the format does not limit the type of response they can provide.

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.
