\begin{tabular}{l} Butterflies perform one of nature's most spectacular tricks: metamorphosis. A butterfly \\ begins life in its larval stage. After the larva, or caterpillar, eats huge amounts of food, it \\ is ready for its awe-inspiring feat. \\ Commonly, the larva suspends itself from a branch and forms a hard cocoon from its own \\ silk. Inside, the insect dissolves into a gooey liquid that still contains some organized \\ cells that will form the new butterfly. Those cells divide and create the wings, antennae, \\ legs, and other parts. Then, as if by magic, a complete butterfly emerges! \\ Which author's purpose is suggested by the text? \\ to convince readers that butterflies are magical \\ to describe the appearance of a new butterfly \\ to inform readers about butterfly metamorphosis \\ \hline\end{tabular}
