Answer 1

A. to state the goals and purpose of the text

The primary purpose of an introduction is to set the stage for the reader by clearly stating what the text will be about, including its goals and purpose. It often provides an overview of the main topics or arguments that will be discussed and can establish the context or background information that the reader needs to understand the rest of the text.
