Author’s Purpose: How Bridges Hold Name Score Decide why the author wrote this (inform, persuade, or entertain). How Bridges Hold A bridge must carry heavy loads without bending or breaking. Engineers use clever shapes to spread the weight safely across the whole bridge. A beam bridge is simple but can only cross short distances. An arch bridge pushes the weight outward into strong supports at each end. A suspension bridge hangs its road from huge cables held by tall towers. The cables pull the weight up and carry it to the ground through the towers. By matching the design to the distance, engineers build bridges that last for centuries. 1) Why did the author write this? 2) Inform, persuade, or entertain?
