Question

what is the authors purpose in \save the coral reefs\? select two options. to convince readers that practices that destroy coral reefs must be stopped to entertain readers with a dramatic tale about the destruction of coral reefs to inform readers about how the coral reefs are being destroyed to inform readers about which fishing companies damage the coral reefs the most to persuade readers to try scuba diving before the coral reefs are destroyed

Explanation:

The title "Save the Coral Reefs" implies a call to action (convincing to stop destructive practices). Also, likely, the text would detail destruction methods (informing about how they're destroyed). The other options either focus on entertainment (not likely in a "save" themed text), specific fishing companies (too narrow without indication), or persuading to scuba dive (not relevant to the main "save" purpose).

Answer:

to convince readers that practices that destroy coral reefs must be stopped, to inform readers about how the coral reefs are being destroyed
