Which of the following reflect the intent of the writer in the above passage? 1. To evolve methodologies for objective analysis of the two viruses 2. To establish the epidemiological similarities and differences between the two viruses 3. To offer a better understanding of the remedies of HMPV when analysed in conjunction with SARS-CoV-2 Select the answer using the code given below.

The passage's purpose is to contrast SARS-CoV-2 (novel, pandemic-causing) with HMPV (well-studied, decades of exposure) and to highlight that they belong to fundamentally different virus families. The writer is NOT proposing methodologies (1), NOT establishing epidemiological similarities (passage emphasizes differences, not similarities), and NOT discussing remedies of HMPV via SARS-CoV-2 analysis. The intent is simply to differentiate the two viruses and explain why SARS-CoV-2 became a pandemic. Hence none of the stated intents accurately reflect the writer's purpose.
