who is the intended audience?
○ teenagers
○ the public

○ all of these

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine the article's purpose, we analyze each option. The first option only focuses on persuasion about cell phone care, missing info about event/nonprofit. The third option includes "all problems" which is likely too broad. The fourth only informs, not persuading. The second option includes informing about event/nonprofit and persuading about cell phone care, which is a balanced purpose.

The intended audience for an article about cell phone use and a nonprofit's cause is likely broad. Teenagers, parents, and the general public (the public) could all be interested, so "all of these" makes sense as the article's message (cell phone care, event/nonprofit) is relevant to teenagers (heavy cell phone users), parents (concerned about kids' use), and the public overall.

Answer:

B. to inform about an event and a nonprofit agency's cause and persuade people to be more careful when using cell phones (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with this as the second option; adjust label if needed)
