ENGLISH MIDDLE SCHOOL

"The clump of laurel in which the criminal lay was in the angle of a road which after ascending southward a steep acclivity to that point turned sharply to the west, running along the summit for perhaps one hundred yards. There it turned southward again and went zigzagging downward through the forest. At the salient of that second angle was a large flat rock, jutting out northward, overlooking the deep valley from which the road ascended. The rock capped a high cliff; a stone dropped from its outer edge would have fallen sheer downward one thousand feet to the tops of the pines. The angle where the soldier lay was on another spur of the same cliff. Had be been awake he would have commanded a view, not only of the short arm of the road and the jutting rock, but of the entire profile of the cliff below it. It might well have made him giddy to look." The description of the setting in the paragraph above, helps create A. the exposition. B. the rising action. C. the climax. D. the conflict.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

A. The exposition.

Explanation:

The exposition of a story is the background information that a writer provides in his work. This allows the readers to have a sense of awareness about what the story is about, what the setting is, and other details that suggest or give information about what the story is moving to.

The given excerpt from Ambrose Bierce's A Horseman in the Sky describes the setting of the story. This setting creates the exposition of the story, thereby giving the background information about the setting before the real conflict arises. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
