Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt from 'The Awakening' that mentions Robert's summer pattern of attentiveness towards different women serves as part of the exposition of the novel's plot diagram.

In the exposition, we're introduced to the characters, the setting, and the initial situation that hints at the forthcoming conflicts and themes.
