Question

what does good exposition do for the reader of a story?

a. helps the reader form an emotional attachment to the characters

b. gives the reader information about what happens after the story ends

c. forces the action in a story rather than letting events unfold naturally

d. provides the moment of greatest tension or excitement within a story

Explanation:

Exposition in a story gives background - introducing characters, setting, etc. This helps the reader emotionally connect with characters. Option B is about what happens after the story (not exposition), option C is not what exposition does (it doesn't force action), and option D describes the climax, not exposition.

Answer:

A. Helps the reader form an emotional attachment to the characters
