Which is an example of “exploding a moment”? The urban commuter reads his paper. I sit down next to a young professional man. His silk tie gleams in the sunlight. I turned eighteen on Thursday

"Exploding a moment" is a term which refers to the use of imagery (strong, descriptive language which creates vivid images in the reader's mind) in order to make the reader actually see or feel what is being described in the text. Having this in mind, the correct answer is the third sentence - His silk tie gleams in the sunlight.
