Read the passage. Grand Avenue should and must be converted to a one-way street. It cannot support two-way traffic because it is too narrow and busy. For example, in a three-month period last year, there were 11 accidents on Grand Avenue caused by traffic-flow problems. Which of the following is the most likely purpose and audience for this passage?
  A.  to inform a teacher
  B.to persuade a town council
  C.to entertain friends
  D.to instruct young students

Respuesta :

B.to persuade a town council, because it talks about problems only a town should address.

Answer:

B.to persuade a town council

Explanation:

The purpose of the passage is to make the members of a town council do something about a problem in town: the organization of traffic flow. The passage describes the problem: the width of an avenue not suitable for two-way traffic flow. It also suggests how the problem should be solved: turn avenue into one-way street. The passage also gives reasons why the traffic flow along that avenue has to be changed: many traffic accidents in a short period of time.
