Mark the correct statement about the genre of the text above.  Alternativa A: Persuasive: it encourages the reader to do something, uses capital letters and exclamation marks
to call attention, and adjectives to make something sound attractive. Ou Alternativa B: Instructive: it tells what you can find in the Maldives and uses command words. It is direct and
does not use non-essential vocabulary. Ou Alternativa C: Informative: it provides the reader with facts and information in a clear way, not giving only one
side of an argument. Ou Alternativa D: Descriptive: it describes what the trip to the Maldives will be like and uses adjectives to help the
