Answer

The answer is persuade readers that air pollution must be reduced.

Explanation
Option 1: Inform readers of facts about air pollution.

While the paragraph does provide factual information about the effects of air pollution, the primary purpose is not just to inform but to motivate action.

Option 2: Persuade readers that air pollution must be reduced.

The paragraph emphasizes the severe consequences of air pollution on health, property, and the environment, and it calls for dramatic changes to reduce pollution. This indicates a persuasive intent.

Option 3: Amuse readers with details of ridiculous human error.

The paragraph does not aim to amuse readers or highlight human error in a humorous way. It focuses on the serious issue of air pollution and its impacts.
