Here are the answers of the given questions above.
1. The topic that is a clearest example of the "informative purpose" is this: a newspaper article describing the outcomes of an election. The answer is option A.
2. The one that best 
 reflects "chronological order" is this: The city of Chicago, Illinois, was founded in 1833. The answer is option A.
3. Among the given descriptions above, the least effective detail for a description about a warm, sunny day on the beach would be this: Kites of every color hovered above, swooping and soaring with each gust of wind. The answer is option C.

The answers to the questions above would be the following ones:

1) The topic that is the clearest example of the "informative purpose" is a newspaper article describing the outcomes of an election (A). This would be the case because the article would provide a lot of information which would also be useful.

2) The sentence that best reflects chronological order is the one that reads as follows: "The city of Chicago, Illinois, was founded in 1833" (A).

3) The detail that would be the least effective for a description about a warm, sunny day on the beach is the following one: "Kites of every color hovered above, swooping and soaring with each gust of wind" (C). The kites would imply that it is windy so they would not be effective when describing a sunny summer day.
