○ she is able to give an objective account about one part of enrique’s life.

Explanation:

Answer:

A. She is able to provide her opinion about Enrique’s difficult situation.

(Note: Based on the context of "Enrique’s Journey" by Sonia Nazario, the biography format allows her to offer perspective on his struggles, aligning with the purpose of highlighting the hardships of migration. However, if the intended correct answer is different based on specific text analysis, adjust accordingly. Assuming the options and typical analysis, this is the reasoned choice.)

Wait, correction: Actually, in "Enrique’s Journey," Nazario’s biography (or narrative nonfiction) aims to inform and persuade by sharing Enrique’s story. But among the options, the best fit for "support her purpose" (likely to raise awareness about migrant struggles) is that by writing a biography (a detailed account of his life journey), she can include his story to encourage action (option C? Wait, no—let's re-express.

Wait, the options:

1. She is able to provide her opinion about Enrique’s difficult situation. (But Nazario’s work is more about reporting and sharing his story, not just her opinion.)

1. She is able to encourage the reader to do something to help Enrique. (Biography can inspire action, which aligns with her purpose of highlighting migration issues to prompt empathy/action.)

1. She is able to include all the details about Enrique’s life from beginning to end. (But the book focuses on his journey, not his entire life from birth to end, so this is inaccurate.)

1. She is able to give an objective account about one part of Enrique’s life. (Biography is a narrative, not purely objective, and she includes emotional elements, so this is incorrect.)

Wait, maybe the intended answer is A? No, perhaps I misread. Let me check again.

The question: "Why does writing about this in the form of a biography support her purpose?"

Sonia Nazario’s purpose in "Enrique’s Journey" is to document the struggles of migrants, raise awareness, and inspire empathy/action. A biography (or narrative nonfiction) allows her to tell Enrique’s personal story, which can encourage readers to care and act (option C: "She is able to encourage the reader to do something to help Enrique").

But the options as given:

First option: "She is able to provide her opinion about Enrique’s difficult situation." (But her work is more about presenting his story, not just her opinion—though she does frame it to highlight injustice.)

Second: "She is able to encourage the reader to do something to help Enrique." (Biography’s personal narrative can inspire action, which supports her purpose of advocating for migrants.)

Third: "She is able to include all the details about Enrique’s life from beginning to end." (The book focuses on his journey to the US, not his entire life, so this is false.)

Fourth: "She is able to give an objective account about one part of Enrique’s life." (Biography is a narrative with emotional elements, not purely objective, so this is false.)

So the correct answer is likely the second option: "She is able to encourage the reader to do something to help Enrique."

But in the original options, let's list them properly:

1. She is able to provide her opinion about Enrique’s difficult situation.

1. She is able to encourage the reader to do something to help Enrique.

1. She is able to include all the details about Enrique’s life from beginning to end.

1. She is able to give an objective account about one part of Enrique’s life.

So the correct answer is the second option.
