Hi. in case like this, how would I located the MP of the paragraph or primary purpose location then summarize

[Adam Tyson]

Primary purpose is not typically something found directly in the text, lathlee, so there is no specific place to find it. Instead, take a more holistic approach. Review the second paragraph, think about how it relates to the Main Point and Tone, and ask yourself "why did the author include this information?" That's what purpose is about - answering the question "why". The answer requires a global view of the entire passage, and a prephrase about what part it played in the whole, sort of like a Method of Reasoning question in LR. Questions like these are not about specific text, but are more conceptual.
