What is the main purpose of the following sentence?
All living things are composed of cells.
to entertain
to settle
to persuade
to inform
The correct answer is D. To inform
Explanation:
In writing, the purpose of a sentence, paragraph or text refers to the reason for writing a text and this can be identified according to the type of content they include. Common purposes in writing include to persuade that aims at convincing the audience of an idea or perspective; to entertain that aims at entertaining the audience; to narrate that aims at telling a set of events and to inform that aims at providing information about one topic or subject.

It tells the story of two friends who due to their separate paths in life have not seen each other in twenty years.

Which of these statements from Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement by John Lewis is an implicitly stated opinion on the nation's state of affairs during the civil rights movement? I've said this many times: If he had been born in another time, in another place, or of another race, A. Philip Randolph would have been a prime minister, or a president, or a king. The movement had a goal of an integrated society, an interracial democracy, a Beloved Community. What Malcolm X represented were the seeds of something different, something that would eventually creep into the movement itself and split it apart. He was the undisputed leader, the undisputed symbol of what the movement had come to, at least at that point in time. His very presence spoke for itself. There was a tremendous need then, and there remains a need today, for someone to take hold of the urban centers in the North and give them that sense of direction.

Identify the class and noun function of the pronoun. For intensive pronouns put NONE for nouns functions
The coach himself decided to play during practice.
Noun function:
Pronoun class:
In the sentence, 'himself' is an intensive pronoun with no noun function used for emphasis, and it belongs to the reflexive/intensive class of pronouns.
In the sentence "The coach himself decided to play during practice." the word 'himself' functions as an intensive pronoun. Since intensive pronouns are used for emphasis and they do not have a grammatical function in terms of acting as a subject or object, the noun function here is NONE. The pronoun class for 'himself' is reflexive, but when used for emphasis, it is specifically called an intensive pronoun. Thus, when classifying 'himself', and since our sentence has an emphasis on the subject, we define it as an intensive pronoun with no noun function.
