Analyzing Career Information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Website — Unit test

Question 8 • PARTA - EVP: PGCPS ENGLISH 12 OC (FALL2026) 791113

Which excerpt from "Career Planning for High Schoolers" best shows that the author’s purpose is to inform the reader?

Answer

“I’ve always had a pretty clear idea of what I want to do,” says Megan Lovely, a high school senior who hopes to become a director someday.

“All your life you’ve been asked what you want to do when you grow up,” says Steve Schneider . . .

About two-thirds of high school graduates from the class of 2013 enrolled in college that fall, according to BLS . . .

Everyone’s career path is different, and there is no “right” way to start a career.

Explanation

The author’s purpose is to inform, so the best excerpt provides factual information. Choice B gives a statistic about how many high school graduates enrolled in college and attributes it to the BLS. The other excerpts share personal comments or general advice rather than presenting a specific fact.
