I don’t have the excerpt — can you paste it here? Without the text I can’t choose the best answer.
If you can’t paste it, use this quick checklist to decide:
- Mostly facts, numbers, dates, and specific details about Cambodian and Haitian children → “to provide facts and details about Cambodian and Haitian children.”
- Emotional language, personal stories, or language meant to make the reader feel pity → “to prompt feelings of sympathy in the reader.”
- Strong opinion, persuasive language, criticism or praise of US asylum policy → “to express an opinion about US asylum policies.”
- Tense pacing, cliffhangers, or language that builds uncertainty about outcomes → “to suggest a suspenseful atmosphere about the asylum process.”
Paste the excerpt and I’ll pick the best answer and explain why.
