Question

Identity whether the following paragraph is a narrative, persuasive, descriptive, or expository paragraph.

It was July 21, 1969, and Neil Armstrong awoke with a start. It was the day he would become the first human being to
ever walk on the moon. The journey had begun several days earlier, when on July 16th, the Apollo 11 launched from
Earth headed into outer space. On board with Neil Armstrong were Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. The crew landed
on the moon in the Sea of Tranquility a day before the actual walk. Upon Neil's first step onto the moon's surface, he
declared, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." It sure was!
O Narrative
Descriptive
• Expository
Persuasive

Answer 1

I would say expository because narratives are more personal and creative whilst expository essays are based on facts and evidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The expository essay is a genre of essay that requires the student to investigate an idea, evaluate evidence, expound on the idea, and set forth an argument concerning that idea in a clear and concise manner".

"When writing a narrative essay, one might think of it as telling a story. These essays are often experiential, and personal—allowing students to express themselves in a creative and, quite often, moving ways.".
