Yesterday was a little tough. A number of people did not select the correct answer. Always read your passage softly outloud so that you can hear how the author meant it. Be careful today and remember:

Entertain must be fiction, have story characters, a setting, and a plot with a problem and solution.

Inform must be only facts about 1 topic.

Persuade is when the author is trying to sell you something or trying to talk you into agreeing to something.
