In Paragraph Comprehension, one type of question that can be seen on the test is a question on author’s purpose. Author’s purpose is the reason the author wrote the piece. One type of author’s purpose is to persuade the reader about a certain topic. As an ASVAB tutor, I teach my students about the different types of questions that appear on the Paragraph Comprehension section of the ASVAB. Even though I focus very heavily on math in my ASVAB classes, I make sure to address the different types of questions that appear on the Paragraph Comprehension section.
In today’s post, I present different types of writing pieces and ask which one of them could be a persuasive piece.
Do you know which one could be a persuasive piece?
- A science article about zebras
- A conservationist’s piece about preserving trees.
- A story about a girl and her dog.
- Facts about the Civil War.
The answer will be presented tomorrow.
