This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

"STAGE MANAGER:

Well. Now we're ready to get on with the wedding.

There are a lot of things to be said about a wedding; there are a lot of thoughts that go on during a wedding. We can't get them all into one wedding, naturally, and especially not into a wedding at Grover's Corners, where they're awfully plain and short."

A) It lacks specificity.

B) It creates an enthusiastic tone.

C) It makes weddings seem dull and uninspiring.

D) It encourages the audience to make inferences about weddings.

A) It lacks specificity.

C) It makes weddings seem dull and uninspiring.

D) It encourages the audience to make inferences about weddings.

Explanation:

First, when the stage manager says there are lots of things to be said about a wedding and a lot of thoughts that go on during a wedding, he is not being specific. Quite the opposite, he is being as vague as can be. What things? What thoughts? Are they good or bad? By being so vague, he encourages the audience to make inferences about weddings. We begin to imagine the things, the thoughts, and the reasons behind them.

Second, the stage manager makes weddings - especially the ones in Grover's Corners - sound boring, colorless - dull and uninspiring. He says they are "plain and short", meaning there isn't much fun about the ceremony, nor much celebration.

it is the background information on the characters and setting explained at the beginning of the story. the exposition will often have information about events that happened before the story began. the exposition is often the very first part of the plot.
