It is true that any interpretation that can be defended with evidence from the text is a valid topic for a critical essay.
I believe B would be best.
<em>She </em><em>requested</em><em> </em><em>him </em><em>that </em><em>he </em><em>wait </em><em>there </em><em>until</em><em> </em><em>she </em><em>returned</em><em>.</em>
Answer:
The option that would most likely function as the exposition in a story is:
A. We had been working for months to restore the house to its original glory.
Explanation:
<u>The exposition of a story is the moment when the author sets the stage for what is going to happen. In other words, it functions as the introduction of the story, where we get to know the setting, the characters, and begin to understand the context in which the plot will unfold.</u>
Therefore, the exposition should present information that will be developed, that is, introductory information. When we analyze the options given in the question, we can see that B, C, and D are more likely to be used in other moments in the story. They demand context. If they were the very first sentence in a story, for instance, we would be taken aback, having no idea what is going on. Why is Shannon trying to go from the raft to the boat? What project is she talking about - and who is she, for that matter? What contest is this and who is talking about it?
<u>Now, option A sounds much more like an introduction. We do not know who the speaker is yet, but now we know that he/she and someone else have been working on renovating a house. It is easy to see that this piece of information will be further developed: we will be told who the speaker is, whose house it is, etc.</u>
In "Condensed Milk," nothing is mentioned about the protagonist's cultural upbringing. There was no justification for us politicals to be there, he says, referring to himself and other convicts as "politicals." This most likely indicates that the main character is a well-educated individual who may be a writer or journalist whose opinions and output were seen negatively by the Russian government. A backdrop like this aids the protagonist in comprehending how the camp actually functions. He is aware that the invitation to flee is a trick. He is clever and sly enough to cut off the agreement after obtaining some condensed milk. He makes advantage of his knowledge to extend his life a little. The short tale "Condensed Milk" was written by Varlam Shalamov in Russia (1907-1982). Based on the author's experiences as a prisoner in a Gulag, or forced labor camp, it was written. The protagonist's identity and background are kept a secret. For instance, he is not a member of the same organization as the thieves. His arrest for "political" activity raises questions about his history. He is most likely well-educated, which makes it possible for the government to view him as a danger because he has the freedom to voice his own thoughts. In summary, the "Condensed Milk" protagonist uses his knowledge and intelligence to stay alive.
