Jan Bishop · Answer 1

A: to inform readers about caffeine facts

Explanation:

They are not persuading, simply giving information about caffeine. There is no person opinion or argument being made.

It's the same as saying "the amount of water in juices can vary greatly. Water is also a necessity of life."

There is no argument that having more or less water is better in juice. These facts can be turned into an argument, but it is not.
