An essay that explains, informs, or presents information?

• A. Dramatic irony
• B. Expository essay
• C. Tone
• D. Internal rhymes

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is identifying the type of essay that explains or informs. An expository essay is designed to present information clearly and factually, using definitions, examples, and logical organization to help the reader understand a topic. It sticks to explaining how something works, what something means, or how events are related, without aiming to persuade or tell a story.

Dramatic irony is a literary device where the audience knows more than a character. Tone refers to the author’s attitude toward the subject. Internal rhymes are rhymes inside a line, a feature of poetry or song lyrics. These don’t match the purpose of simply explaining or presenting information, which is why the expository essay is the correct choice.
