Question

Which statement about the author’s purpose is true? Similar to theme and motif, there is only one accurate interpretation of an author’s purpose. Like other reader interpretations, it must be supported with evidence from the text. If the author never states a purpose, there is none. Most texts have no fewer than three purposes, all of which the reader must find.

Answer 2

Answer:

Like other reader interpretations, it must be supported with evidence from the text.

Explanation:

The purpose of a text often depends on who is interpreting the text or document, so the theme, motif and purpose should be backed or supported by evidence from the text, otherwise it would become too subjective to the opinion of whomever is trying to interpretate the text. So the best answer to the question would be "Like other reader interpretations, it must be supported with evidence from the text."
