Question

stuck in summer school, and they gave me these too questions i didn't really understand?????

(1)What are three broad categories with which exposition deals?

(2)Name four specific changes in focus which indicate that the writer must begin a new paragraph

Answer 1

2)

When you begin a new idea or point. New ideas should always start in new paragraphs. If you have an extended idea that spans multiple paragraphs, each new point within that idea should have its own paragraph.

To contrast information or ideas. Separate paragraphs can serve to contrast sides in a debate, different points in an argument, or any other difference.

When your readers need a pause. Breaks in paragraphs function as a short "break" for your readers—adding these in will help your writing more readable. You would create a break if the paragraph becomes too long or the material is complex.

When you are ending your introduction or starting your conclusion. Your introductory and concluding material should always be in a new paragraph. Many introductions and conclusions have multiple paragraphs depending on their content, length, and the writer's purpose.

Answer 2

These sound like very course-specific questions. What I mean by that is that you could have 3 different teachers each asking their classes these 2 questions and expecting 3 completely different answers based on what they taught or what is in the textbook. Did your teacher not mention anything about either of them in class?

If you can't remember anything from class and there doesn't seem to be anything in your texts (assuming you have texts), then I'd suggest going in a bit early and saying to the teacher, "I'm sorry, I just don't understand these questions. Would you be able to explain?"

Of course, make double sure to pay super attention in class from now on and write down whatever you can--not just what the teacher writes on the board.
