Which author's purpose attempts to convince the reader?

C). Persuade.

For example, if the author writes an article about volunteering at animal shelters, The author is trying to convince, or persuade, the reader to volunteer at the animal shelter.  

i would say c, admiration because the narrator related to the main character and she, too, once felt ashamed about her culture and wished to be an american girl to impress a boy. she felt admiration because her mom prepared her favorite foods when her and robert's (the guy she liked) family all came together and had a family reunion.

i will have to go with 1.

hope this !
