Question

which one of the following incidents is an example of exposition? athe women tearing off the wallpaper b bartleby"s death c the narrator hiring bartleby die? dthe breaking-off of louisa and joe's engaggement

Answer 1

I'd go with letter "c" because exposition generally does not advance plot and may impede present-time action, it is usually best kept in short and succinct form, though in some genres, such as the mystery, exposition is central to the story structure itself.
