28.
The correct answer is (D).
Choice (A), argument, and choice
(E), persuasion, are easily eliminated. No premises are asserted
and no conclusions are drawn, nor is the reader being persuaded
to do anything. Choice (B), exposition, is incorrect, although
you might find it tempting for a moment, because expositions
tell or explain the what, why, and how of things. Choice (C),
description, is easily ruled out because the author’s purpose is
not to describe something real or imagined, although there are a
number of vivid descriptions in the passage. This selection is a
narrative, choice (D), in that it tells the story of how the author
came to write her famous work,
Frankenstein.
