Which excerpt is part of the exposition of Robin Hood?

Answer
A
Not only Robin himself but all the band were outlaws and dwelled apart from other men, . . .
B
. . . the sheriff of Nottingham proclaimed a shooting match and offered a prize . . .
C
“I’ll hold the best of you twenty marks,” quoth bold Robin, “that I hit the clout at threescore rods, . . .”
D
“I would that thou hadst ne’er said one word to me, or that I had never passed thy way, . . .”

Explanation

Exposition introduces the characters and background before the main events develop. Choice A explains that Robin and his band are outlaws who live apart from other people, giving background about their situation. The shooting match in B and the challenge in C describe events in the plot, while D sounds like dialogue from a later moment.
