@fustration thank you for answering so quickly, I just updated the question.

anonymous · Answer

Hmm...in question one it says its an informative article about summer activities so I would think the answer would be the importance of staying active

anonymous · Answer

Thank you but in my lesson it defines informative as "Increases knowledge of a subject or concept. Focuses on just the facts. I don't think it would be A because that seems to be Explanatory. The definition for Explanatory is Explains a procedure, process, or concept.

I will just go with my gut on these questions. Unfortunately I don't think you helped enough to receive a best response and your answer just now was rude in my opinion. Have a good day

I was giving you that information as I thought it would help you I didn't take the time to write that thinking you would just say "ok"

anonymous · Answer

I wasn't trying to be rude at all. I was trying to hlp because im usually good at stuff like this, but I got thrown for a loop so I figured id move out the way and let someone else try

anonymous · Answer
