QUESTION 1

Language is essential to human interaction. Humans are the only species that have
perfected cognitive verbal communication, despite the fact that all other species
have their own methods of communication. Language enables us to communicate
our ideas, thoughts, and emotions to others. It has the capacity to both develop and
destroy communities. The significance of language is that it aids in asking questions,
providing answers, communicating ideas and desires, and comprehending the
expression and emotions of others (Sharma, 2018). The purpose of the text is to
inform. The author wants to inform the reader about the new city that Saudi Arabia
wants to build. Informative writing is one of the main ways that we can communicate
through the written word. Informative writing is found everywhere in daily life and it is
important to be able to recognise and evaluate what it is saying, where it comes
from, and understand the features of informative writing (Bernstein et al, 2019). The
writer uses both informative and persuasive writing.

The context used in the text is linguistic context, sometimes called co-text is the set
of words that surround the lexical item in question in the same phrase, or sentence.
The physical context is the location of a given word, the situation in which it is used,
as well as timing, all of which aid proper understating of the words (Sharma, 2010).
In communication and composition, context refers to the words and sentences that
surround any part of a discourse and that help to determine its meaning. Sometimes
called linguistic context. To add, in a broader sense, context may refer to any
aspects of an occasion in which a speech-act takes place, including the social
setting and the status of both the speaker and the person who's addressed. Context
is very important in reducing the ambiguity that is usual in a language and which
indeed corresponds to its richness (Praveen, 2018). In the article the lexical context
refers to language used in the context of utopia.

The purpose of persuasion in writing is to convince, motivate, or move readers
toward a certain point of view, or opinion. For this writing style, the writer is trying to
convince the reader of the validity of a certain position or argument. Persuasive
writing includes the writers’ opinions, and provides justifications and evidence to
support their claims (Harmer, 2014). The writer is trying to persuade the reader that
a utopia sounds nice on paper but is not practical. This is shown by the last
