Answer 1

Authors who write to persuade typically want to make their reader:

• feel a certain way about a topic.
• want to find out more about their topic.

While the other options (enjoying the text and understanding how something works) can be important in writing, they are not the primary goals of persuasive writing. The main focus is often on influencing the reader's feelings and encouraging further interest in the topic.
