Answer:

B

Explanation:

It gives directions to a homework assignment.

The author's purpose behind this passage on keeping track of the moon  is to give directions for a homework activity .

The lunar phase, also known as the Moon phase, is the shape of the area of the Moon that is directly illuminated by the sun throughout the lunar month, which is around 29.53 days as seen from Earth.  Four major phases (new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter) and four minor phases can be used to characterize it (waxing crescent, waxing gibbous, waning gibbous, and waning crescent).

As the orbital locations of the Moon around Earth and Earth around the Sun fluctuate, the lunar phases gradually alter over the course of a synodic month. Depending on where the Moon is in its orbit, different parts of the visible side of the Moon are illuminated, ranging from 0% (at the new moon) to 100%. (at full moon).

Therefore, to give directions for a homework activity on the phases of the moon the author wrote this passage.
