Answer:

D. It informs the reader about Pluto's planetary status

Explanation:

There are four main types of writing: descriptive, persuasive, narrative and expository.

The main purpose of expository (sometimes named informative) writing is, as the name might suggest, to explain, define something or inform the readers on a certain topic providing an explanation.

This particular sentence informs us about "Pluto's rise and fall from planethood" which means that it is no longer considered a planet.

In that way, it explains us Pluto's planetary status, which makes this an example of expository writing.

Chapter I, The Beginning of Things
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

For the prompt, you have to explain how the passage is in the past tense. In the last paragraph, you can tell it is in past tense because it uses the words like “were” and “had” to represent the time. If this was written in the future tense, you would see words like “will” to represent future time. And lastly, this is not in the present tense because the main character/ narrator would be telling the story as it goes. If there is no narrator then we would be able to tell if the tense was present if the main character was currently telling this is the first, second, or third point of view.
