to provide evidence that the amygdala keeps track of all strong emotions

which is a statements are the most likely reasons the author wrote this selection?

to persuade people with fears to get therapy

to entertain readers with stories of how people overcame their fears

Explanation:

First, analyze each option:

• The option "To provide evidence that the amygdala keeps track of all strong emotions" is about explaining a brain structure's function (amygdala and emotions), which is related to understanding the author's purpose of informing about this concept.
• The second option is a repeat of the question, so it's invalid.
• "To persuade people with fears to get therapy" implies a persuasive intent, but there's no indication of such a call - to - action in the question's context (just about the author's reason for writing, likely informative about the amygdala).
• "To entertain readers with stories of how people overcame their fears" implies a narrative/entertaining purpose, but the mention of the amygdala suggests an informative or explanatory purpose rather than entertainment.

So the most logical reason related to the amygdala's function is the first option.

Answer:

To provide evidence that the amygdala keeps track of all strong emotions
