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>
If the passage you're talking about is this:
<span>"So the Helming woman went on her rounds,
queenly and dignified, decked out in rings,
offering the goblet to all ranks,
treating the household and the assembled troop
until it was Beowulf’s turn to take it from her hand."
Then the correct answer is C. a gift-giving.
Before going into a fight, the warriors honour each other with gifts. This was a common Anglo-Saxon ritual of great significance. It meant that the people who are honouring each other are a community in which they treat each other with respect, fight side by side, and pledge to keep each other safe in the battles to come.</span>
Suggested or hinted at but not actually expressed in words
<span> Atticus talks to the children about being proud
of their superior heritage, but he just scares them because he doesn’t
usually talk to them in that way.
Scout ends up crying on his lap, and Atticus tells them both to forget it.</span>
