a. what genre is this?

b. how do you know? use at least two details from the text to support your opinion.

1. (true/false) if something is nonfiction, that means it’s not true.

Explanation:

Part a

The text presents a mystery - like scenario with questions about a person's disappearance and whether they had an accomplice or were a victim. Mystery or detective fiction often involves such elements of investigation and unknown circumstances.

1. The text asks questions like "Did he have an accomplice, someone who picked up him?" which shows an investigative tone typical of mystery genres, as it is trying to solve a situation (the disappearance).
2. It also considers the possibility "Maybe he was another victim" which adds to the mysterious and potentially criminal or dangerous situation that is common in mystery stories.

Non - fiction is a genre that deals with real events, facts, and information. So the statement "If something is nonfiction, that means it's not true" is incorrect.

Answer:

Mystery (or Detective Fiction)
