The correct answer is D. To inform

Explanation:

In writing, the purpose of a sentence, paragraph or text refers to the reason for writing a text and this can be identified according to the type of content they include. Common purposes in writing include to persuade that aims at convincing the audience of an idea or perspective; to entertain that aims at entertaining the audience; to narrate that aims at telling a set of events and to inform that aims at providing information about one topic or subject.

In the case of the sentence "All living things are composed of cells" this sentence is mainly an objective sentence that  provides information in the field of biology about living beings and therefore the purpose of this sentence is to inform as it is just providing information rather than entertaining, narrating a story or trying to convince the audience.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
