Yes, C.
Essays explain. Explanatory = explaining.
You're welcome.
Great effort! However, the correct answer is actually D.
To determine the correct answer, it is important to understand what explanatory text means. Explanatory text is used to provide information, clarify concepts, or explain how something works or is done. It aims to educate the reader and increase their understanding of a specific topic.
Option A describes a set of instructions, which could be considered explanatory, but it does not explain concepts or provide information about a broader topic.
Option B, a book review, focuses on summarizing and expressing personal opinions on a book, rather than providing an explanation.
Option C is an essay analyzing the perspective of a speaker in a poem and how it affects the description of another character. This is more interpretive and analytical rather than explanatory.
Option D is the correct answer because an article introducing readers to nuclear submarines and explaining their uses falls within the definition of explanatory text. It provides information and educates the reader about a specific topic.
