Answer (2)
To determine the author's purpose in writing a text, consider the type of text, the central idea, and how it affects the reader's emotions. These three questions are directly related to understanding why the author has chosen to write the piece. Other questions, such as reviews or sales numbers, do not effectively pinpoint the author's intent. ;
