Solution

The correct option is C There was no-one who did not acknowledge him with a nod or a bow of the head as he walked by.
An exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information or a backstory of a character or plot.
An exposition describes a scene, character or plot and hence reveals more information about it.
Hence, it would be best to 'show' a scene' rather than simply 'telling' what happened.
Option A describes a character by saying that 'there was nobody who did not acknowledge his presence'. This concludes to the main point that 'he' is respected by all.
Hence option A is correct.
Options B, C and D simply repeat the line 'he is respected by all'. It does not show 'how'. Hence these aren't suitable expositions and options B, C and D are wrong.

Q. Identify the literary device in the following passage:

Wherefore Christian was left to tumble in the Slough of Despond alone: but still he endeavoured to struggle to that side of the slough that was still further from his own house, and next to the wicket-gate; the which he did, but could not get out, because of the burden that was upon his back: but I beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him, What he did there?
CHR: Sir, said Christian, I was bid go this way by a man called Evangelist, who directed me also to yonder gate, that I might escape the wrath to come; and as I was going thither I fell in here.

HELP: But why did not you look for the steps?

CHR: Fear followed me so hard, that I fled the next way, and fell in.

HELP: Then said he, Give me thy hand: so he gave him his hand, and he drew him out, and set him upon sound ground, and bid him go on his way. [Ps. 40:2]

Q. Identify the literary device used in the following passage:
Jesus said: A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denariiand gave them to the innkeeper. Look after him, he said, and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.
