Question 3

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it, and it is often set off by commas. An apostrophe is a punctuation mark for possession or contractions. Parenthesis is used for additional or explanatory information. A comment is a remark or opinion, not a grammatical term for renaming a noun.

• Option A: A memoir and an autobiography are both typically in first - person, so this is not a key difference.
• Option B: Memoirs often include the author's opinions and personal comments about events, while many other nonfiction forms (like a news report or a scientific paper) are more focused on presenting facts without personal commentary.
• Option C: Memoirs are not necessarily the shortest kind of nonfiction writing. There are various short non - fiction forms like short essays.
• Option D: Memoirs do contain facts (about the author's life events), so this is incorrect.

Answer:

D. appositive
