One of the answer choices expresses the kind of opinion which is unlikely to be the "correct" expression of this passage's main idea on the SAT. Which is it? A) to amuse, because the passage contain many funny jokes and asides. B) to critique, because the passage shows problems with volunteering activities. C) to inform, because the passage provides examples of local volunteer opportunities. D) to persuade, because the passage encourages readers to volunteer more of their time.

A) to amuse, because the passage contain many funny jokes and asides.

Explanation:

While any SAT article may have a funny interpretation or an aside it is unlikely that a possible interpretation of only the funny or amusing elements just for the sake of being amusing would be required to be talked about on the text.

If the humor is to be interpreted it has to be along with the theme that the passage conveys that it should work and not entirely on its own as being amusing for amusement's sake.

The United States has a mixed economy. The government protects individual rights, such as minimum pay for work and choices in goods and services.

So the answer will be D

Have a good afternoon :)
