Explanation:

To determine the author's purpose of informing about the Global Summit event on poverty, we analyze each option:

• The first option says the author compares different viewpoints, but the text mainly reports details of the event, not compare viewpoints.
• The second option: The author reports the event with specific details (like the school, the topic, student accounts from Paula and Nathan, and the impact on students) including first - hand accounts (students' quotes), which is consistent with informing about the event.
• The third option: The author does not argue that access to education is the primary cause of world poverty; Nathan just mentions poverty involves access to education among other things.

The author reports the event with specific details, including first - hand accounts.
