Answer 1

Javier thinks the given lines are an example of exposition. He is correct, because the lines provide background information.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

An exposition provides mostly about information which happened before the exposition happens. Because sometimes it is very important and necessary for a reader to understand the happenings to get an clear idea about the story.

The expository helps by sometimes providing background information. Sometimes the exposition can also be the statement providing background information too and these details usually come under the banner called expository details. Here the background refers to Evan losing his flippers and the life guard finding them.
