Which of the following most likely functions as the exposition in a story?

English
1 answer:
Galina-37 [17]2 years ago
3 0

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>

Answer:

"Social Media and Community - What the Numbers Really Mean"

According to a recent survey, 37% of Americans use social media as a way to connect with others. However, this article from Forbes fails to mention some important factors. The article talks about how people have found peace in sharing their lives online and how social media has been used as a tool for advocacy for those who thought they were voiceless otherwise. The author of the article is talking more about how social media is used as a tool for people who want to make others feel left out of the conversation. The author compares social media to bubble tea, which is meant to be consumed quickly by someone who needs some refreshment or sustenance after a long day. The author points out that not everyone needs to stay connected or communicate with others as much as they do, but she fails to realize that these people who are using social media for this purpose are doing so because they have a passion for the things that they share and want to make a difference in their community.

Write only ONE sentence with more than 10 words, having all four types of morphemes. They underline and write the names of the m
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The <u>beautiful</u> girl walked to a park where there were three <u>birds</u> and one brown <u>dog</u> behind the<u> bushes</u>.

Explanation:

Dog: is a f<u>ree morpheme</u> because it can stand on itself, the morpheme coincides with the notion of the word.

Beautiful: is a bound morpheme made up of a free morpheme (beauty), which is the root, and an affix (-ful). When we add the suffix we are changing the category of the word, beuty is a noun while beautiful is an adjective, so we have a <u>derivational bound morpheme.</u>

Birds: is an<u> inflectional bound morpheme</u> because it is made up of two morphemes, a free morpheme (bird) and a bound morpheme (-s) that is modifying the number of the noun bird.

Bushes: is an <u>allomorph</u> because the pronunciation changes due to the addition of (-es), if we compare this word with the word birds, we can see that they are both plurals but the suffix and the pronunciation of the two differs, while the meaning is still the same more than one, plural.

Are Online classes more expensive ?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Yes, they are. Why they are more expensive is because they let you use the books they ship to you. Also, you don't have to travel around the world just to listen to a lecture abiut a subject, you can just stay at home, no money spent, and listen to the lecture at home. (This is my opinion) Most people say that online classes are more harder, but really it's not, you just need the right amount of money and you can join classes you want.

Hope this helps!
