sat critical reading passage vocab

<p>can someone explain the difference (subtle difference/tricks to distinguish among them) among the following:
inquiry
exposition
explanation
narrative </p>

<p>please add more if you think of any! thanks!</p>

<p>bump please! i think this can be very beneficial :)</p>

<p>Hmm I’m not a good explainer but I will try.

  1. Inquiry is asking about something (If you want the exact definition please prefer to the dictionary.) Think about the Law and Order shows on TV. In an investigation, an officer has to inquiry a lot of background information to identify the killer.
  2. Exposition is a form of writing that explains. It can also be public shows (ex.: art)
  3. Explanation is explaining things.
  4. Narrative is another form of writing but it tells more of a story.</p>

<p>thank you :slight_smile: thats much more helpful that a dictionary definition :)</p>
