Question

what does exposition do in a story?
shows the ending
creates a problem
solves the problem
introduces important background information

Explanation:

In a story, the exposition is the part that provides essential background details like setting, characters, and context. "Shows the ending" is incorrect (that's not exposition). "Creates a problem" is the rising action or conflict introduction. "Solves the problem" is the resolution. So the correct option is the one about introducing background info.

Answer:

D. Introduces important background information
