Resposta esperada

Model answer: The text's purpose is to persuade readers to save electricity at home. Evidence: the title names saving electricity; first/last sentences present problems (appliances using power, lights left on) and practical actions (turn off plugs, use natural light, start one habit). Repeated ideas—save, energy, lights, habit—show a persuasive call to change behavior rather than only inform.

Explicação

O texto foca em incentivar a economia de eletricidade, evidenciado pelo título e pelas ações práticas sugeridas nas sentenças iniciais e finais de cada parágrafo. As palavras-chave repetidas reforçam a urgência e a importância de mudar comportamentos relacionados ao consumo de energia. Assim, a intenção é clara: motivar os leitores a adotarem hábitos que reduzam o desperdício de eletricidade.
