The most likely purpose and audience for this passage Is:

to teach young children

Explanation:

To identify why this is the answer we need to look at the language and purpose. Because language is the element we can use to target our audience, then purpose. First of all, we can't see any technicality, so professors and scientists are not targeted. Then, we see that there is a clear phenomenon explanation here. But we also observe something that will define the target from the two last options. It is talking in singular directly. Therefore, we can understand is directed to children. Because if it would have been directed to the general public, we would have identified it was a targeter for newspaper readers. Because that is the format used in the newspaper, the consideration of the general wide public.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.
