what is one characteristic of journals and diaries that makes them more personal than other narratives?

a. they usually relay experiences the reader has had.

b. they are usually written in second person.

c. they usually have a matter - of - fact tone.

d. they often clearly show the authors biases.

Explanation:

• Option A: Journals/diaries are the author's experiences, not necessarily the reader's, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Journals/diaries are usually in first person (the author writing about themselves), not second person, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Journals/diaries often have personal, emotional tones, not just matter - of - fact, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Journals and diaries are personal accounts, so they often reflect the author's opinions, beliefs, and biases, which makes them more personal than other narratives.

Answer:

D. They often clearly show the author's biases.
