Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The general purpose of Marius's speech is to convince or persuade his audience to vote in the upcoming campus elections. Choice A, to inform, may be a secondary purpose of the speech, but the primary purpose is to persuade. Choice B, to inform his audience of the upcoming elections, is too specific and limited compared to the broader purpose of persuading them to vote.
