Excerpts 1 and 2 are expository texts.

Expository texts contain a main idea with supporting details and evidence. They should have a conclusion as well. Excerpt 1 informs the audience about Mount St. Helen. Excerpt 2 explains how anxiety manifests and ways to reduce it. Excerpts 4 and 5 are stories. They do not make a claim and then back it up with supporting evidence. Instead, they describe characters, a setting, and events. Excerpt 3 is written in second person point of view and explains about visiting another country.

Answer:

The three excerpts that would best be characterized as expository texts are :

* Excerpt 1

* Excerpt 2

* Excerpt 3

Explanation:

The first three options are the ones that are presenting expository texts since this kind of text is meant to be educational and it has to be written with a purpose, it also gives fundamental information about the topic to the reader and it is always based on facts that can be proved by the introduction of evidence.

Based on the story of "Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irvin
Svetach [21]

Answer: While Rip was asleep, American revolution took place.

Explanation:

Rip Van Winkle, a story written by Washington Irving, was published in 1819.

Irving tells a story of a man, Rip Van Winkle, who has been sleeping for 20 years. He slept through the American revolution (1765-1783), and wakes up as a free man.

During Rip's sleep, the new king, George Washington, has replaced King George III. In this light, Rip wakes up free from King George's tyranny over his American subjects. Moreover, his wife has died, so Rip is now a widower and is free from his wife's complaints. He also becomes free from the tyranny of day-to-day responsibilities, as no one tells him what to do anymore.

However, the story makes us question the concept of freedom. Although he is not bothered by the expectations of the community anymore, Rip continues to live the same way he did before sleep. This indicates that he was free before, but did not realize it.

Can someone plz tell me the question to this instead of saying something else than my questioned plz help me and don't mind abou
amid [387]

The setting of small fires was a common way to clear forest land for
farming and railroad construction. The whole summer of 1871 was
unusually dry, and all the trees and grass were unusually flammable.
The high winds that blew in with a cold front on October 8 of that year
whipped up many small fires into a single enormous one, which killed
between 1,500 and 2,500 people. 

That was the same day as the great Chicago fire, and there were also
major fires on the same day on the other side of Lake Michigan, that
destroyed large parts of towns in Michigan.
