Question

read the \where\ section of the \beat the heat\ infographic. what is the authors purpose in this section? to inform the reader about where extreme heat is most common to entertain the reader with a story about a summer vacation to persuade the reader to live in a climate with extreme heat

Explanation:

The "Where" section in an infographic about extreme heat would logically aim to convey information. The options "to entertain" (with a summer vacation story) and "to persuade" (to live in extreme - heat climates) are not in line with the context of a public - health - related infographic from the Centers for Disease Control. The first option, which is about informing readers about where extreme heat is most common, fits the purpose of an informational section in such a document.

Answer:

to inform the reader about where extreme heat is most common
