What is the best description of the author's purpose in this passage? This town does not actually exist, but it might easily have a thousand counterparts in America or elsewhere in the world. I know of no community that has experienced all the misfortunes I describe. Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know. 1. convince readers of a threat 2. explain frightening story 3. to convince readers of the importance of a community 4. explain historical event

    This is to convince readers of a threat, the first choice. This is not a frightening story or a historical event, because the author clearly states that "I know of no community that has experienced ... " meaning that this is figurative rather than historical. This is not to convince readers about the importance of a community, as the whole excerpt is about certain disasters rather than the community that experiences it.
