It is focused on presenting facts and data without revealing the writer's opinions, ensuring the reader understands the subject matter even without prior knowledge. Different types of expository writing include cause and effect, compare and contrast, descriptive, process narration, and problem and solution. Writers should consider their audience and the specific purpose of their writing to effectively convey information and enhance understanding.
