Which three excerpts would best be characterized as expository texts? Excerpt 1
May 17, 1980, was a quiet day in Silver Lake, Washington. If you had been there, you probably would have seen Mount St. Helens, one of
the state's famous mountains. The mountain looked like a cone capped with snow. It rose from a valley of deep green trees and bright
blue lakes.
Mount St. Helens is volcanic. Scientists were watching the mountain carefully that spring. For two months, they recorded small
earthquakes near the mountain. Steam spewed from its top. And yet, from a distance, the mountain looked picture-perfect. A volcano can
erupt when pressure underground builds and forces its way to the surface. Volcanos can be active, dormant, or extinct. An active volcano
has erupted in the last 10,000 years and is thought to erupt in the near future. A dormant volcano has not erupted in the past 10,000
years, but is thought to erupt again. An extinct volcano Is one scientists do not expect to erupt again. For example, in 1980, Mt. St. Helens
was an active volcano.

awnser: the oxford dictionary of quotations (oup 1970) has 66 pages of quotations

attributed to the writings of william shakespeare in which there are 2369 quotations,

which may reflect well over 5000 speeches, discussions, observations and comments

that are present in shakespeare’s work. it is largely from those speeches and discussions

on shakespeare’s 37 plays, as well as his, and others’ poems, that examples have been

taken here.

in this book all quotations from his poems and plays have been taken from various

editions of the arden shakespeare.

the writer is very much indebted to the rapid response provided by his son, henry

audley-charles , for cries of , guidance, advice and repairs to his ageing pc, that

henry provided at all hours. without this assistance over the last 3 years this book

could not have been written.

in addition, the writer is much for the kind by discussion and proof readings from

elizabeth macbeth and janet hulse; and for his knowledge of shakespeare’s plays and

poems in discussions with monsieur francis saillart; and especially for years of proof

reading, support and with this book from my wife brenda amy cordeiro. above

all, the debt i owe is to professor david price, vice provost research. he has acted as

the editor and the guide for the whole project. this has been far from easy with

changes repeatedly being made by the author and which continued after professor price

had provided all the editorial structure for this project.
