Question

we set out for the gallows.The warders marched on either side of the prisoner,with their rifles at the slope;two others marched close against him,gripping him by arm and shoulder,as though at once pushing and supporting him.The rest of us,magistrates and the like,followed behind.Suddenly,when we had gone ten yards,the procession stopped short without any order or warning.A dreadful thing had happened–a dog,come goodness knows whence,had appeared in the yard.It came bounding among us with a loud volley of barks,and leapt round us wagging its whole body,wild with glee at finding so many human beings together.It was a large wolly could stop it,it had made a dash for the prisoner, and jumping up tried to lick his face.Everyone stood aghast,too taken aback even to grab at the dog.comment on the dominant variety of prose narrative,expository or descriptive in the passage.

Answer 1

A prose is any form of writing that is organized in form of sentences and paragraphs.

There are three main types of prose: 

1) Narrative prose - majors on giving a narration of a story

2) Descriptive prose - the emphasis is on describing a scene and/or a situation, making use of descriptive adjectives and phrase.

3)Expository prose - the aim of such kind of prose is to inform the readers, give knowledge on an issue or a situation.

The dominant and conspicuous prose form in this passage is descriptive prose. The description is so vivid to the point that you can easily make a mental picture of the scene.
