I don’t have the passage or the answer choices yet. Paste the passage and the drop-down options and I’ll pick the correct answer.

If you want to decide it yourself, use this quick checklist:
- Find the main idea or thesis (usually in the introduction or first paragraph).
- Note the tone and language: neutral/factual = inform/explain; opinionated/emotional = persuade; humorous/imagery = entertain; step-by-step = instruct.
- Look for author intent clues: calls to action = persuade; comparisons/contrasts = compare/contrast; definitions and facts = inform/explain.
- Match that purpose to the wording of the drop-down options (choose the one whose verb fits the author’s intent: “to inform,” “to argue,” “to describe,” “to entertain,” etc.).

Send the passage and choices and I’ll select the correct option.
