Hansel and Gretel lived on the edge of a dark and foreboding forest. One day, while exploring, they were captured by a horrible witch who threatened to eat them. Though they were frightened, the children devised an escape plan. When the witch was ready to eat them, they fought back, eventually pushing the witch into the oven and running away. When they got back to their home, they told their parents about their adventure and promised never to go back into the woods again. Which sentence from the passage is the exposition?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is "Hansel and Gretel lived on the edge of a dark and foreboding forest"

Explanation:

In the plot or sequence of events in a story, there are different stages including the exposition or beginning, the rising action, the climax, the falling action, and the resolution. In the case of the exposition, this is the beginning of the story and includes background information about the characters and information about the setting, but not the conflict s this emerges after the exposition. According to this, the sentence in the passage that represents the exposition is "Hansel and Gretel lived on the edge of a dark and foreboding forest" because this presents both the characters and the setting right before the main conflict emerges.
