Please help me chooseWhich three excerpts would best be characterized as expository texts?

English

Naddika [18.5K]3 years ago

Expository text gets to the point rather quickly. It is intended as education rather than just narrative text. An example of narrative text is the Excerpt by Charles Dickens which is meant to draw a picture of what this woman was like.

So the last one is out.


The first one talks about volcanoes and how they are classified. That's one of your answers if you are trying for brevety and education.


I think the second one would also be a choice. It is trying to show you the nature of anxiety and what causes it. You learn a lot about symptoms from reading it. It's quick and to the point. Expository? Yes.


I don't think four is exactly expository, but I might be wrong. It sounds too argumentative to be completely expository. It wouldn't be my first choice even though I have read Twain a great deal, beginning in my teens. He always has something pointedly funny to say about the human condition. So it's hard for me not to include him in anything. It's not exactly narrative either. The tough ones are three and four.


Three tries to tell you what it would be like to live in another country. I think it likely is the choice you are looking for.


Answers 1,23. I could be wrong, so if you have a different answer in mind, go with it.

Answer:

1, 2, 3

Explanation:

An expository essay is one that tries to "expose" a topic. This means that it tries to uncover or discover something in order to explain it to an audience. Therefore, this type of writing tries to explain, illustrate, clarify or describe a subject in order to make it easier for readers to understand. In this case, the first three excerpts discuss specific subjects in order to describe and explain them to the readers. Therefore, they would classify as expository essays.

Which of the following should be included in your research presentation? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY
vfiekz [6]
 broad topic isn't exactly what you want in a presentation, you usually want to have a very narrowed topic, focusing on something specific. 
Detains and examples are very important, so check that. You always need multiple sources. 
A cited list is also very important, because it's technically illegal to not have one if you used any info from somewhere else besides your own brain.
D isn't important at all
E could be important for the working progress phase, but for the presentation itself, it's not really needed.

Amanda [17]

Answer: whether, weather

Explanation: Looking at the Grey sky, Becky wondered WHETHER the WEATHER would ruin the class trip.

Weather and whether although having a similar pronunciation do not perform same function in a sentence.

Weather is used to describe the temperature and precipitation activity at a certain point in time while WHETHER is a word used as a condition between two likely outcomes.
