Determine the author's purpose

The primary goal of a recipe is to provide factual instructions and guide the reader on how to prepare a dish. It does not aim to amuse (entertain) or convince the reader of an opinion (persuade). Therefore, its main purpose is to provide information on how to complete a task.

Match with the options

The purpose of providing factual instructions and guidance corresponds to "inform".

Answer:

• entertain
