The three questions cover everyone who would be interested in this type of convention. So it's a form of advertising. You get the attention of all possible people who would be interested in going.

I don't understand what "to pick out quick readers" mean, so I can hardly make a choice.

Then you should have said that in your first post.

This is an advertisement for the convention, so it's purpose, like all advertisements, it to arouse readers' interest. The readers might be quick readers or slow readers, it doesn't matter. The purpose is to get the readers' attention. So A. - to test readers if they are quick at reading - is irrelevant to the purpose of an ad.

It is a question in a test. I don't understand what the question writer means by saying "to pick out quick readers". Can you tell me your choice and explain it, please?

The correct answer is B. B means 'to make readers interested'.
A means 'to identify fast readers'.
