Respuesta :

1. Option a) To inform

Explanation

The author simply conveyed some information and there was no persuasion or opinion. Neither is there any instruction in statement to follow, so the correct answer is a

2.Option a) First Person

Explanation

Writing in first person means writing from the author's point of view or perspective. This point of view is used for autobiographical writing as well as narrative.

3. Option a) Third person omniscient

Explanation

Both Third person omniscient and Third Person limited are written in the style of "he/she did this" but omniscient is all knowing - you are told more than the characters know (e.g. the character picks up a stone - "but what she didn't know was that the aincient stone, created by Gods, gives the owner the power of telekinesis"). Limited means that you are told only what the one particular character knows (e.g. the character picks up a stone - "what could this be?" she wondered").
