Question

question 10 of 10
which of these are most characteristic of literary nonfiction?

a. real people and places
b. imaginative locations and scenery
c. fabricated situations and circumstances
d. citations and sources

Explanation:

Literary nonfiction is a genre that presents real - life events, people, and places in a literary, narrative - style manner. Option A: Real people and places are core to literary nonfiction as it deals with real - world subjects. Option B: Imaginative locations are more associated with fiction (like fantasy or science - fiction) rather than nonfiction. Option C: Fabricated situations go against the "nonfiction" aspect as nonfiction is based on reality, not fabrication. Option D: While citations and sources are important in academic nonfiction (like research papers), literary nonfiction focuses more on the narrative of real people and places rather than just citations. So the most characteristic feature of literary nonfiction among these options is real people and places.

Answer:

A. Real people and places
