    Narration of facts: Between scenes, the writer can add facts to story for revealing more information about the characters and setting.

    Backstory/prologue: Some stories or books have a 'prologue' before the first chapter or scene, to lay out the background information and the events that brought the main character where he is in the start of the story.

    Options A, B and C are, individually, incorrect.
  • Question 7

    "A long time ago, in a kingdom far far away, there lived a king and queen who wished for a child."
    Solution
    An exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information or a backstory of a character or plot.
    Option C: The given sentence 'a long time ago...' is an introductory sentence that begins a story. It sets the background for the plot. Hence, option C is correct.
    Option A: Satire is the use of humour or irony to ridicule someone's vices.
    Option B: 'Imagery' is the 'visually descriptive or figurative language' that makes a scene more vivid and live to a reader.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Select the best exposition to introduce the given:

    A war took place a few years ago and many houses lay in ruins because of it. 
    Solution
    An exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information or a backstory of a character or plot.
    Option B: This sentence: 'the scars of the war', followed by the description of the houses 'houses were but fragile blocks of brick' is an introduction to the given line 'a war took place a few years ago...'
    Hence this is the best exposition that can give a proper background to a war and its resulting ruins.
    So, option B is correct.
    Options A, C and D: These sentences repeat the same thing that's already given in the question 'A war took place...' There's no background given by these options. They aren't suitable expositions as they don't describe the scene or explain the line, but repeat the same line again.
    Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
    While writing an exposition, one must ______________________ . 
    Solution
    An exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information or a backstory of a character or plot.
    Option B: One must write an exposition in few words. An exposition is an introduction or a backstory, and if it goes into too much detail, the reader would get lost in the past and lose track of the present story. Hence option B is correct.
    Options A and C: An exposition introduces the plot, and does not reveal the plot. The latter would be a form of summary to the story.
    Also, an exposition can be based on character, setting or plot. It's not necessary that it must only be connected to the characters.
    Hence options A and C are wrong.
    Option D is wrong because the answer lies in B.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is an example of a part of an exposition?
    Choose the best option:
    Solution
     An exposition is 'a comprehensive description and explanation of an idea or theory'.
    In literature, it's a literary device that introduces background information about events, settings, characters or other elements of a work to the reader.
    Option B: This line 'once upon a time...' introduces a story, which is a part of a story. Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: This line is a continuation of a story, and in the middle of a scene.
    It does not reveal any background information.
    Option C: This line is a conclusion and does not reveal any background information.
    Option D: This line is a narration of an event and not a backstory.
    Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
