Which statement best describes an expository text?

a. It provides a first-person account of a personal experience.

b. It presents information using a common structure.

c. The primary purpose is to construct a logical argument.

d. The author's feelings are more prominent than are facts.

b. It presents information using a common structure.

Expository writing, which is informative by nature, will always contain certain elements, and these elements are characteristic of how an expository piece is organized (or structured). All expository writing will contain a main idea, support, then a conclusion. And, this organization (or structure) is, again, common to all types of expository writing.
