Read the passage and decide whether each phrase supports the author’s purpose of showing how lovely and full of life the place was.

Along the roads
, laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and
wildflowers delighted
the traveler's eye through much of the year. Even
in winter
the roadsides were
places of beauty
, where
countless birds
came to feed on the berries and on the seed heads of the dried weeds rising above
the snow
.

Supports Purpose

Is Neutral

Respuesta :

All sentences support the author's purpose of showing the place as something lovely and full of life.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The author uses descriptive elements to lovingly describe the place.
  • In all sentences, the author reinforces mental images associated with the place that conveys comfort, beauty, and wonder.
  • This can be seen in the exhibition of birdsong, the beauty of the flowers, the animals feeding, and even the fertility of the land when she claims that weeds existed there before the snow.

With that, we can say that the whole text reinforces the idea that this is a very pleasant place.
