Question

which questions would most help a reader identify the author’s purpose for writing? select three options. what type of text is this? what type of reviews did the book receive? how many copies of the book have been sold? what is the central idea? how does this text make one feel?

Explanation:

To identify an author’s purpose for writing, we analyze each option:

• "What type of text is this?" helps as different text types (e.g., persuasive, informative) have distinct purposes.
• "What is the central idea?" reveals what the author aims to convey, linking to purpose.
• "How does this text make one feel?" (e.g., persuasive texts evoke emotion) connects to purpose.

Options about book reviews or sales don’t relate to the author’s writing purpose.

Answer:

• What type of text is this?
• What is the central idea?
• How does this text make one feel?
