Question

Which of the following is NOT an example of general characteristic of expository writing? Select all that apply.. .

clarity.
coherence.
poetic description.
thoroughness.
persuasiveness

Answer 1

1) Thoroughness

2) Persuasiveness

Step-by-step explanation:

Thoroughness: A thorough writing is one that goes deep into details and reveals much about a topic, this is not an example of expository writing because expository writing only reveals brief information about a topic.

Persuasiveness: A persuasive writing is one with a target to sell an idea or convince someone to buy into the content of a topic, this is not a form of expository writing because expository writing only introduces a topic and does not in anyway persuade a listener to take action.

Answer 2

The correct answer should be poetic description

Poetic descriptions are found in other types of essays while expository essays are used to convey information.
