Answer 1

I have found this question online. It refers to a non-fiction text called "Garbage".

Answer:

The option that best explains why the author begins the text by talking about magical garbage fairies is:

b. He is trying to get the reader's attention.

Explanation:

The author of "Garbage" wants to lead readers to a question: what happens to the tons of trash we throw away every year? His purpose is to answer that question throughout the text. But, to get readers' attention and to raise that question, he mentions garbage fairies. Those words certainly get readers imagining little cute winged creatures waving their wands to make trash disappear. Thus, they effectively get readers interested in what the author has to say, in how he is going to explain what happens to garbage, since those fairies do not exist, as the author himself says. With that in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option:

b. He is trying to get the reader's attention.

Answer 2

The answer choice which best explains why the author begins the text by talking about magical garbage fairies is:

• He is trying to get the reader's attention.

What is Narration?

This refers to the storytelling of a particular event to persuade or convince a person about a particular point of view.

With this in mind, we can see that from the complete text, the author is making a narration where he hopes to convince people to stop throwing trash in the sea and he talks about magical fairies so that he can get their attention.
