Question
Comment on the dominant variety of prose (narrative, expository, or descriptive) present in each of the following passages. Write a brief critical appreciation of each passage in about 250 words each: Passage A: Everyday routines shape who we become, even if we do not notice them. Waking up at the same time, brushing our teeth, fetching water, or checking the phone first thing in the morning are small habits that slowly build our day. When these routines are thoughtful and calm, they create a sense of order and control, helping us face stress and surprises more steadily. Passage B: One rainy evening in our small town, Ravi lost his wallet while walking home from the market. A young girl selling flowers spotted it on the wet pavement. She picked it up, ran after him through the downpour, and returned it with all the money inside. Her honest smile brightened his day, and he rewarded her with a handful of coins. Passage C: The quiet river flowed gently through the forest, its surface shimmering like silver under the moonlight. Tall reeds lined the banks, bending softly in the night wind. Smooth pebbles gleamed at the water's edge, and fireflies danced above, casting tiny golden lights on the dark ripples.

Passage A is predominantly expository prose because its main purpose is to explain how everyday routines influence human behaviour and personality. Instead of telling a story or creating a vivid picture, the writer presents an idea in a logical and informative manner. The passage discusses ordinary activities such as waking up at a fixed time, brushing teeth, fetching water, and checking the phone. These familiar examples help readers understand that small habits gradually shape daily life and character. The explanation moves smoothly from simple actions to their larger psychological effects, showing how thoughtful routines create discipline, reduce stress, and improve emotional stability. The language is simple, direct, and accessible, making the message easy to understand. There are no dramatic events, characters, or conflicts, which confirms that the focus is on explanation rather than narration. The tone is calm, reflective, and encouraging, inviting readers to think about their own habits. The passage also contains a universal message that personal growth depends on consistent daily practices rather than extraordinary
