The correct answer is: Persuasion

The purpose of Elena's paragraph is indeed to persuade her audience about the importance of caring for the planet. She expresses a strong belief and suggests specific actions—recycling and using natural energy—that support her viewpoint. This persuasive tone aims to influence others to consider their role in environmental stewardship. Written as an appeal for others to adopt certain behaviors, the paragraph lacks a purely informational, descriptive, or entertaining focus. Instead, it seeks to motivate the reader to take action, characteristic of persuasive writing.
