Read this paragraph from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Well, three or four months run along, and it was well into the winter now. I had been to school most all the time and could spell and read and write just a little, and could say the multiplication table up to six times seven is thirty-five, and I don't reckon I could ever get any further than that if I was to live forever. I don't take no stock in mathematics, anyway. What is the author's purpose for including this paragraph? to inform readers about one-room school houses to inform readers about mathematics instruction to persuade readers to stay in school to master basic skills to entertain readers with a story of a disinterested student

I would say the last one

Explanation:

It didn't talk about one roomed school houses

it didn't say much about math instructions

It would be persuading, But the character never said anything about dropping out, He Or she said ¨ I don't reckon I could ever get any further than that if I was to live forever. I don't take no stock in mathematics, anyway¨

It would have to be the last one
