The author most likely included the gory details about Beethoven's hospital visits to what? A. persuade
B. inform
C. entertain
D. describe

Your answer is most likely:

D. describe

Explanation:

I'm unsure what book you're being quizzed on, but this is my best guess.

When an author provides a description of something, they are describing that moment. A description of something, such as a lake, helps the reader create an image in his or her mind, immersing them in the story.

For Example: The silky water remained undisturbed, pitch-black in the light of the moon. The stars twinkled above like thousands of fireflies, and pine trees loomed like monsters in the distance.

We see here a lake and its surrounding environment is described. The author hints at the time of this setting, stating that the moon and stars are out. They also state that "the silky water remained undisturbed," letting us imagine what the lake looked like.

Contrast With: The lake was beautiful, and the pine trees stood tall in the distance.

While this sentence tells us about a lake, it doesn't give any hint to the time of day or what the lake really looked like. The sentence could be used in a book, but it isn't as strong as the above passage.
