Which type of essay is focused on exploring various topics?

Analytical essay
Argumentative essay
Expository essay
Comparative essay

The correct answer is: Expository essay

An expository essay is focused on exploring various topics. It presents or explains different points of view without taking a stance or making an argument. Analytical essays analyze and interpret a specific subject or issue, while argumentative essays take a position on a topic and provide evidence to support it. Comparative essays compare and contrast two or more subjects. Therefore, all of the other options involve taking a specific approach or stance, whereas an expository essay remains objective and explores multiple viewpoints.
