Which of the following describes the purpose of this article?
Early in the morning on July 13th, forty-three pounds of oranges were dumped in the drive-way of John Milton's home. The oranges blocked Milton's car in and prevented him from leaving his home. Milton, a candidate for mayor, believes that his opponent's staff is responsible for the prank. Spenser, Milton's opponent, often urges his supporters to wear the color orange to his rallies. "It's just the sort of thing Spenser would do," said Milton, "it's just like him to use symbolism in an attack." The police have yet to name a suspect. "We do not have evidence indicating that Mr. Spenser was part of the prank against Milton," said a spokesperson for the department.

Answer:

to convince the audience to vote for John Milton

Explanation:

John Milton has had troubles on the 13th because someone has decided to perform a prank over him, a prank that actually blocked him from leaving his home. Even though Milton didn't had any real proof who did it, he played it tactically and instantly blamed Spenser for the prank. In order to connect the prank to Spenser, Milton used some details from the prank so that he can connect it symbolically with Spenser. The main goal behind it is to convince the people to vote for him, not for Spenser, as he represented him in the public eye as someone who is acting like a child and has no responsibility whatsoever.
