Which type of informational text explains with facts and includes features like headings and graphs?

• A. Expository texts
• B. Literary non-fiction
• C. Persuasive texts
• D. Procedural texts

Answer: (A)

Expository texts are written to explain and inform. They present facts, definitions, and clear explanations about a topic and organize information in an easy-to-follow way. Headings help readers see the structure and locate sections, while graphs and charts visualize data or relationships, making the information easier to understand. This combination—factual content plus organized, visual features—is what makes expository text the best fit for teaching or learning about how something works or why something happens. Other types mentioned focus more on storytelling (literary non-fiction), trying to persuade an audience (persuasive), or giving step-by-step instructions (procedural), rather than providing a factual explanation with headings and graphs.
