Answer 2

The correct meaning of the underlined word "purpose" in this context is the reason or intention behind something. In this sentence, the speaker is trying to explain to someone the reason for the printing of the book they are looking at.

The underlined word "occupied" means busy or engaged in a specific activity. In this sentence, Queequeg is completely focused on counting the pages of the book and is not paying attention to anything else.

Overall, the sentence is describing how the speaker and Queequeg are looking at a book together and the speaker is trying to explain the purpose of the printing while Queequeg is occupied with counting the pages.
