Select the correct passage. Which of these passages would most likely be part of an expository text?
Passage 1
What makes weather? Earth's temperature is partly responsible. Water vapor in the air moves from one place to another depending on
temperature. Warm air rises, and cold air sinks. As the warm air around the equator rises, it moves toward the poles and is cooled. The cold air
around the poles also moves toward the equator. While this is happening Earth is spinning. The spin of the planet is called its rotation. The
rotation of Earth is also important to weather. As Earth spins, the sun can warm only part of it at any one time. The other part faces away from
the sun. It is cooler. As a result, the rotation of Earth creates constantly changing temperatures
Passage 2
My plan is to refurbish cars and then turn around and sell them to people. There are a million cars that are dumped at wreckage lots, and I can
use the money I get from my summer job to buy a car and the parts I need for it. Junkyards are a gold mine for parts, and they are cheap there. I
can spend my free time putting the cars back together, and then I can sell the car to someone for a lot more than it cost me to fix it. I first
learned how to work on cars years ago with training from my uncle. He was an expert mechanic on his farm back in the 1930s. Learning from
him was one of the most beneficial and interesting experiences I had while living in California.
Passage 3

Passage 4
Until this moment. I had looked upon the valley as my grave. I had seen no possibility of getting out of it aliye. But now I found courage and
began to plan my escape. First. I picked up all the large diamonds I could find and stored them in my leather bag. This Itied securely to my belt. I
then chose the piece of meat that seemed best for my purpose. With my turbanl tied meat firmly to my back. This done, I laid face down and
awaited the coming of the eagles. I soon heard the flapping of their mighty wings above me. Then I had the joy of feeling one of them seize my
piece of meat, and me with it. We rose slowly toward its nest, into which it dropped me.
(from One Thousand and One Nights)

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.
