Explanation:

To determine the author's purpose of informing about the Global Summit event on poverty, we analyze each option:

• The first option: The author reports the event with specific details (like the school, the topic, students' presentations, and quotes from students) and first - hand accounts (students' statements). This aligns with the purpose of informing.
• The second option: The author does not argue that access to education is the primary cause of world poverty. Nathan Doyle just mentioned that poverty involves access to education among other things, not that it's the primary cause.
• The third option: The author does not compare different viewpoints on the Global Summit event. The text mainly reports the event and students' thoughts on poverty, not different viewpoints on the event itself.

The author reports the event with specific details, including first - hand accounts.
