Although the piece is entertaining, its main purpose is to provide information about the Navajo code. The text not only briefly describes the purposes and uses of the code, but more importantly, it highlights the recognition that code talkers received from the government. The information about the holidays created is secondary. Moreover, it does not attempt to persuade readers of any particular position.

B. inform readers that the code talkers were recognized by the US government for their critical work during wartime.

Explanation:

B. inform readers that the code talkers were recognized by the US government for their critical work during wartime.

I believe the answer would be B, to inform readers that the code talkers were recognised by the US government for their critical work during wartime. This sentence in no way wants to entertain readers with a story about code talkers since the paragraph gives off more information than the purpose to entertain. This paragraph explains the code talkers' place in the war and gives info that the code talkers were recognised for their work and were rewarded by the multiple persons of the US government (the presidents). This paragraph doesn't focus on the history of US presidents, and it doesn't want to persuade the reader to create code, that would be a persuasive paragraph. Not an informational paragraph. 

I think it is  B. inform readers that the code talkers were recognized by the US government for their critical work during wartime.

The author's purpose was to show the reader how special and important the Code Talkers have been throughout history. 

Their importance is clear when the author explains that they were kept a secret so that the Marines could continue using them. The author also explains the different awards that they have been given from Presidents, which shows just how important and special they are.
