From I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai
14 Adam took us to Islamabad. It was the first time I had ever visited. Islamabad was a beautiful place with nice white bungalows and broad roads, though it has none of the natural beauty of Swat. We saw the Red Mosque where the siege had taken place, the buildings of the Parliament House and the Presidency, where Zardari now lived. General Musharraf was in exile in London.

What is the author’s purpose in telling about Islamabad in paragraph 14?

a. to describe the city so readers can visualize it
b. to persuade readers to visit the city
c. to explain why Adam took the family to the city
d. to inform readers about the origin of the city
