this text can best be described as a personal essay.
why?
a the author tells about a personal experience her son
had.
b the author uses characters and dialogue to tell a story.
c the text tells about events that cannot happen in real
life.
d the text gives information about a time long ago in
human history.

Explanation:

To determine why the text is a personal essay, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A personal essay often includes personal experiences. If the author tells about her son's personal experience, this fits the personal essay genre.
• Option B: Using characters and dialogue is more typical of a story or narrative fiction, not a personal essay.
• Option C: Events that can't happen in real life are part of fantasy or fiction, not a personal essay (which is based on real experiences).
• Option D: Information about a time long ago in human history is historical writing, not a personal essay (which focuses on personal experiences).

So Option A is correct as it relates to a personal experience, a key element of a personal essay.

Answer:

A. The author tells about a personal experience her son had.
