I have looked this question up and found it is about a couple of paragraphs from the essay "Taming a Bicycle" by Mark Twain. Since the essay is long, I will not post it here. But it can easily be found online.

The three descriptions which reflect the purpose of the essay are:

1. to entertains the reader with humorous ideas related to bike riding.

3. to inform the reader about the process of learning to ride a bike

5. to instruct the reader about how to get on a bike

Explanation:

In his humorous essay "Taming a Bicycle," Mark Twain describes the process of learning how to ride a bicycle in a most interesting way. At the same time he assures readers they will fall, he also assures them that they will keep on trying. After all, that is the beauty of riding a bike: it is dangerous, it can hurt you, and that is exactly why you want to do it.

Twain compares riding a bike to learning German, making the latter seem uninteresting and complicated. He also tells readers what is involved in riding (balance, propel, steer, etc.) and how to get on the bike, which he describes in a most funny way, as if it were a matter that demands great attention and a step-by-step explanation.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
