Which term describes writing intended to explain or describe a topic?

• A. Memoir
• B. Expository
• C. Biography
• D. Editorial

Answer: (B)

Expository writing explains or describes a topic using facts, definitions, and examples in a clear, organized way. Its goal is to inform the reader with information rather than to share personal experiences or push an opinion. That fits here because the focus is on presenting understanding about a topic rather than telling a story or arguing a point. A memoir recounts personal memories, a biography tells about someone’s life, and an editorial expresses a viewpoint and argues for it.
