Answer:

to inform the reader about the products and foods that a region offers

Explanation:

Books that tell about travels are called travelogues. There are few reasons for writing such a book:

1) informing readers about landscape, place, customs, culture, region etc.

2) persuading readers to visit a specific location

3) entertaining readers with stories of travel and following adventures

This particular excerpt is purely informational; it provides some basic information on foods and products of a given region, without giving any details of the trip itself or trying to persuade readers to visit the place.

1. In Around the World in Eighty Days, Phileas Fogg makes an impulsive wager that he can travel around the world in eighty days
CaHeK987 [17]

Focusing on Passepartout’s perspective makes the story objective. Passepartout doesn’t have a personal bias or have anything to prove so he doesn't react impulsively or affectionately. (Greenleafable, Brainly)“Being much less cool-headed than Mr. Fogg, he was much more restless, counting and recounting the days passed over, uttering maledictions when the train stopped, and accusing it of sluggishness, and mentally blaming Mr. Fogg for not having bribed the engineer. The worthy fellow was ignorant that, while it was possible by such means to hasten the rate of a steamer, it could not be done on the railway.” This is a quote showing that the narrator is telling the story from third person, not Passepartou from first, thus giving the story a more real and relatable aspect to it.

Explanation:

At first, the narrator highlights how much he´s intrigued about why would Mr. Abe keep collecting and polishing abalone shells since his front porch was practically full of them already. This initial mystery becomes more significant when the narrator finds an abalone shell, understands the reason for that practice, and starts a collection of his own.
