Writers add multimedia, such as graphics, to an informational text to help the reader better understand and comprehend the information being presented. Multimedia can include pictures, charts, graphs, diagrams, or videos that provide visual representations and support the text. These visuals can make complex information easier to understand, illustrate relationships between concepts, provide examples, or highlight key details. By incorporating multimedia, writers can enhance the reader's comprehension and engagement with the text.
