Sylvia was walking down the sidewalk pulling her new red wagon. It was a pretty fall day. Some of the leaves were turning colors and falling off the trees. She crunched through a pile of dry leaves

A). Exposition.

Explanation:

'Exposition' is defined as the element of the plot in which the author introduces the characters, setting, and background information to the readers which helps them understand the historical context in which the story is written and understand the narrative more effectively.

As per the question, the 'exposition' is demonstrated here as the author provides the introduction of the protagonist 'Sylvia' and description of the setting of the 'sidewalk', 'pretty fall day with leaves turning colors, falling off', etc. This allows the readers to have basic background information that the story is set in and hence, option A is the correct answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
