Explanation:

Para determinar si el autor intenta entretener, se debe buscar lenguaje emocional como felicidad, tristeza, miedo o humor. No se menciona que haya ese tipo de lenguaje en el texto. Para determinar si intenta convencer, se buscan reclamos, puntos de vista, evidencia y recomendaciones. Dado que los datos sobre su background y las condenas injustas apoyan un argumento, es probable que intente convencer.

Answer:

entertain me?: No
convince me of something?: Yes
How do I know? (entertain): No hay lenguaje emocional como felicidad, tristeza, miedo o humor.
How do I know? (convince): Los datos sobre su background y condenas injustas apoyan un argumento.
