Answer
A
to inform readers about Red Cross efforts
B
to provide travelers with a guidebook to Galveston
C
to inform readers about reaction to the Red Cross
D
to persuade readers that helping others is worthwhile
E
to tell her own story
F
to entertain readers with funny stories

Explanation

A memoir about Barton’s relief trip would likely describe what the Red Cross did and how people responded to its work, so informing readers about those efforts and reactions makes sense. Barton could also use her experiences to show that helping others is worthwhile and to tell her own story. A guidebook for travelers and funny stories are not likely purposes of this account.
