You have just read a blog post that provided step-by-step directions for making homemade cinnamon rolls. Each step included a photo as well. A shopping list of ingredients was also included. The author's primary purpose for writing this blog post is most likely:

Pie is without question better than cake. First, pie has a wonderful buttery, flaky crust. When you bite into a piece of pie, you savor the perfect combination of flaky crust and sweet, oh-so-tasty filling. When you bite into a piece of cake, on the other hand, you just get mushiness with frosting on top. Furthermore, if you eat a fruit pie, you can claim that you are getting a daily serving of fruit! The author's primary purpose for the above statements is most likely:

to persuade readers to agree that pie tastes better than cake

to describe to readers what pie and cake taste like

to persuade readers to have pie for their birthday instead of cake

to inform readers of the differences between pie and cake

Is there a better way to spend an early fall evening than to enjoy it in front of a crackling bonfire? As the autumn sun sets, the light in the sky is replaced by the intense yellow and orange glow of the burning flames. The scent of burning wood, the sight of rising smoke, and the sound of crackling flames ignite the senses while the warmth from the burning embers warm not only the body, but the soul as well. The author’s primary purpose for the above statements is most likely:

to describe a bonfire to readers

to persuade readers to have a bonfire

to explain to readers how to enjoy a bonfire

to inform readers of what to expect if they go to a bonfire

The author's primary purpose for making this poster is most likely:

to inform readers what makes up a balanced meal

to entertain readers while they are waiting in the lunch line

to inform readers of foods that should be eaten every day
