The correct response is: To provide structure and allow movement; muscles attach to bones and cause movement.

The skeletal system's main purpose is to provide structure, support, and protection to the body, while the muscular system works in conjunction with the skeletal system to enable movement through the contraction of muscles that are attached to the bones.
