Read the paragraph from “Stick to Real Microscopes.”

The piece I read also insisted that smartphone microscopes are better because they let users take video of what they observe. That is certainly good and useful. Being able to take video is valuable. And I do not intend to argue against that value. Rather, I will just say that one does not need a smartphone microscope to take video. I found several real microscopes that come with digital cameras and video recorders. They can record videos just as easily as a smartphone microscope, but they can do so at much higher magnification. Several cost around $300 (Gates). Again, the real microscope is the better scientific tool.

What is the author’s purpose in the paragraph?

a : to explain that real microscopes have video capability superior to smartphone microscopes

b : to argue that it is easier to take video with a real microscope than a smartphone microscope

c : to suggest that video capability is the most important feature for microscope users

d : to compare the cost of microscopes with and without video and camera features

After reading and analyzing the paragraph about microscopes, we can choose the following option as the one containing the author's purpose:

A. To explain that real microscopes have video capability superior to smartphone microscopes.

What is purpose?

Purpose is an author's objective or goal when writing. For example, an author may have the purpose to inform readers of a fact, like in a newspaper article. He can also have the purpose to entertain, like in some blogs.

In the passage, the author compares smartphone microscopes to real microscopes. His purpose is to show that a real microscope can do what a smartphone one does and more.

Real microscopes, like smartphone ones, can record a video. But, besides that, their magnification is way higher.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.
