All of the above reasons can be valid motivations for writers to add multimedia to an informational text. However, the most commonly seen reason is to help the reader comprehend the facts, comparisons, or details in the writing. Adding multimedia such as images, charts, graphs, or videos can enhance the understanding of the information being presented by providing visual representations or additional context. This can make the text more engaging and accessible to the reader. Additionally, multimedia can also help to make the organizational strategy of the text more clear by visually showing connections, hierarchies, or sequences.
