Read the sentence below expecting to succeed leads to success. which of the following best tells the purpose of the sentence? a. provides the attitude or mood of a story b. explains the meaning of a story c. tells what a story is about d. describes where and when a story takes place

The sentence appears to be the theme of a story. Theme explains the message or meaning behind a story, therefore the answer would be B. "Explains the meaning of a story."

If it was the topic, tone, or mood of a story it would be only one word instead of a sentence, so A is incorrect. This sentence tells us nothing about the setting or time period of the story, so D is incorrect. C could have been a possible answer but a summary would better tell what the story was about.

A, to visit her father at his army camp
