So, you have read the passage I'm hoping, lol.
You have answer choices A, B, C, and D.
With this you're going to want to eliminate answers you know aren't correct, like how is she persuading us the readers? She isn't so D is marked out.

You're left with A, B, and C now.
Is she trying to entertain us readers with book references? No, she isn't. So you mark out A.

Now you have B, and C to deal with.
Is she either trying to explain a viewpoint, or provide actions in her personality?

If you're able to Copy & Paste the paragraph onto this I can help you further, cause if it's from her book "I know why the caged birds sing" the answer is might be B. But I wouldn't pick that if you're reading a different book she wrote.

The correct answer is "to explain her viewpoint on the wonders of reading". Maya Angelou was an American poet, singer, memoirist, and civil rights activist. Angelou's most known works were labeled as autobiographical fiction. She made a deliberate attempt to challenge the common structure of the autobiography by critiquing, changing and expanding the genre. Her books center on themes such as racism, identity, family and travel.
