This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night.
Meir Katz remained on the train. The last day had been the most lethal. We had been a hundred or so in this wagon. Twelve of us left it. Among them, my father and myself.
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that ______
A) few survived the horrific train ride.
B) the author and his father were safe.
C) Meir Katz was not as strong as he seemed.
D) Meir Katz was left behind to remove the dead.
Answer:
The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to show that A) few survived the horrific train ride.
Explanation:
This excerpt makes one clear point. It's main purpose is to show how horrific the train ride was, especially its last night. Out of a hundred people who had been in the wagon, only 12 left. The author does mention that him and his father were safe. Yet, the most important piece of information - and the most shocking one - is how many people died. Therefore, letter A is the best option.
