Question

which of the following would not be an example of an author’s purpose for writing a nonfiction text? to entertain the reader with imaginary characters to persuade the reader to provide information to describe a series of events in a chronological structure

Explanation:

Nonfiction texts deal with real information, events, or arguments. Imaginary characters are a feature of fiction, not nonfiction, so using them to entertain is not a purpose of nonfiction writing.
