Answer:
Let's look at each sentence and find our answer by process of elimination:
Sentence 1:
Billboard advertising is a form of visual pollution and should be banned.
The primary purpose of this sentence is to.
A) inform
B) persuade
C) entertain
Now we eliminate:
The excerpt, "Billboard advertising is a form of visual pollution and should be banned," is talking about someones opinion. It could be inform, then. But, when we look at the bottom, it says, " The primary purpose of this sentence is to:" In that case, Inform isn't our answer because it isn't really the primary purpose.
Now our next option is persuade. Since persuading means to try to convince, we can see that the "should be banned" part supports this statement. With that in mind, we see that PERSUADE or B is our answer.
Sentence 2:
Instead of nagging my father to lose weight, my mother bought him an extra large T-shirt imprinted with the message, "Space for rent."
A) Inform
B) Persuade
C) Entertain
Hahaha! This question is about the mother humiliating the father. For that reason we can see it is not Persuade. It isn't really inform, either. With that in mind we can see that the answer is ENTERTAIN or C.
