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.

8. List three pieces of evidence that show how Paul reacts to the<br><br> people at home.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The evidence for Paul's reaction is:

1. People have no idea what happens in the war.

2. People worry about super-nice things while the war is going on.

3. He matured a lot and hard, while in military training and on the battlefield.

Explanation:

Paul used to identify with the people of his homeland, since he lives with them and shared very similar experiences, however, when he was called up for military service and taken to the battlefield he found himself in a very difficult reality to deal with. He had to mature very, very quickly to maintain his sanity in such an inhospitable environment. This caused him to lose all connection with the people of his homeland and to no longer be able to see them with importance, because they seemed superfluous.

As defined in the lesson, how are skimming and scanning different?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Hi there, your answer here is C. Skimming is reading key words or reduced numbers of sentences to find the main idea, while scanning is reading to look for specific information. While both techniques use rapid eye movement and key words, they are used to move quickly through a text for slightly different purposes. When you skim a text, you want to find the main idea. When you scan a text, you want to find specific facts.

Hope this helps! Have a great day - Mani :)
