Question

In the exposition of a story, we learn a little about the setting, characters, and the basic situation. In the first two stanzas of "Lochinvar" what are some of the main character's traits that we learn about in the exposition?

Oh, young Lochinvar is come out of the West;
Through all the wide Border his steed was the best;
And save his good broadsword he weapons had none;
He rode all unarmed, and he rode all alone.
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war,
There never was knight like the young Lochinvar.

He stayed not for brake, and he stopped not for stone;
He swam the Eske river where ford there was none;
But, ere he alighted at Netherby gate,
The bride had consented, the gallant came late:
For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war,
Was to wed the fair Ellen of brave Lochinvar.

Question 3 options:

Faithful, determined, and brave

Lonely, scared, and shy


Rotten, slacker, and sneaky


Adventurous, unarmed, and angry

Answer 1

A) Faithful, determined, and brave.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the exposition of a story means providing the audience with important background information that either advances the story, invests the audience in the characters, or provides clarity to avoid confusion. Therefore we can concur that the answer is A) Faithful, determined, and brave. I am not 100% sure, but I did try my best and I hope this helps you.
