Answer

Brief Explanations:

The text starts by stating that many locals overlook local tourist spots. Then it suggests investigating what one really knows (or doesn't know) about local significant places, like starting with the city's official website. It also gives examples of how visiting local significant places (e.g., a hometown known for cheese - making, mining, or a historic theater) can enlighten one beyond expectation. The mention of testing tour guides' knowledge and seeing the hometown in a new way further emphasizes the idea of exploration. The overall tone is persuasive, encouraging readers to take action (explore local significant places) rather than just informing (about why people overlook places) or describing (the experience of listening to tour guides).

Answer:

to persuade readers to explore the significant places near their homes
