Explanation:

The text is a fund - raising pamphlet for the Martin County Animal Shelter. It states that adoption fees cover a small portion of operating expenses and that donations are needed for animal care. The key phrase “Please donate today!” and the overall tone are aimed at motivating readers to give money to the shelter. The first option focuses only on operating costs (not the main purpose), the second is a detail about how donations help (not the main purpose), and the fourth is about donating time (the text is about donating money).

Answer:

to inspire readers to donate money to the shelter
