Which of the following is an example of exposition in an essay?

A dialogue between two characters
A description of a particular situation
An argumentative point of view
A vivid visual image

The correct answer is: A description of a particular situation

Exposition in an essay refers to the portion that provides background information and sets the stage for the main argument or thesis. This choice is the only one that fits this description. A dialogue between two characters could be present in a narrative or a play, but not in an essay. An argumentative point of view is the main argument in an essay, not the exposition. A vivid visual image could be used as support, but it is not the exposition itself.
