Explanation:

An exposition is a background story told in the first section of a movie, book, or story to explain the foundation of the story. It gives the audience an idea of the plot, theme, and setting of the story to follow.

Option A satisfies the definition of an exposition, for, in the first sentence, we see a description that fits into the first section of a movie. It is then followed by narration or exposition by the writer who explains the circumstances that brought the two actors together. This explanation will give the film viewer an insight into the plot, theme, and setting of the story.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
