What is the primary purpose of literature?

To make the reader think critically
To provide entertainment
To impart moral lessons
To inspire social change

The correct answer is: To make the reader think critically

Literature has many different purposes and can serve to entertain, educate, inspire, and more. However, the primary purpose of literature is to make the reader think critically. Literature often presents complex and thought-provoking ideas and themes that challenge readers to think beyond their usual perspectives and assumptions. While providing entertainment, imparting moral lessons, and inspiring social change are all important elements of literature, they are not the primary purpose.
