What is the purpose of the lead in a news article? a. to identify the writer of the article
b. to sum up the most important information
c. to show where the events of the story took place
d. to provide supporting facts about the story

B

Explanation: It's not important to identify the writer in the lead, the name will be listed somewhere else. And the place where the story took place is not the main purpose of a lead. A lead is meant to make the person want to read more, or it can provide a very short image of what happened. Supporting facts are listed inside the news article, not the lead.

b. to sum up the most important information

Explanation:

i had this question in my quiz and got it right =]

hello there! the answer is d. the united states.

if you grew up in the usa (which i'd assume, but i believe is also open to other countries) you grew up using fahrenheit. common things like this are setting the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit, or knowing that the average body temperature is 98.6 degrees fahrenheit. well, like other countries listed, brazil, france and england all use celsius instead of fahrenheit. for example, 350 degrees for an oven would be 177 degrees celsius, or the average body temperature is 37 degrees celsius.

i hope this and have a great day!
