Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
An exposition is a form of background information given to a character, plot or story, to provide more insight into that character or plot.
Option D: This option introduces the character by saying that 'Henry is a silent child and does not have any friends', without using the exact words again. So, the reader is able to understand the character better, by concluding that Henry does not like people, hence he does not have friends.
So, option D is correct.
Options A, B and C simply state the same words about the character again 'Henry was silent', 'without friends'. These words do not introduce the character 'Henry' or give more information about it. Hence options A, B and C are wrong.
