Q & A

What is the main purpose of an Analytical Exposition Text?

The main purpose of an Analytical Exposition Text is to persuade readers, listeners, or viewers that a specific case or issue exists, and to argue why it is significant. It aims to present reasons and support for the existence of the case.

How does a Hortatory Exposition Text differ in its purpose compared to an Analytical Exposition Text?

While both types aim to persuade, a Hortatory Exposition Text focuses on convincing the audience to take specific actions or avoid certain actions, often ending with a recommendation.

The three main structural components of an Analytical Exposition Text are: 1) Thesis (introduces the topic and presents the case), 2) Arguments (provides the main reasons and elaborates on the issue), and 3) Reiteration (concludes by restating the thesis or summarizing the argument).

What is the final structural component of a Hortatory Exposition Text?

The final structural component of a Hortatory Exposition Text is the Recommendation, which provides the writer's advice on what actions should or should not be taken based on the issue discussed.
