Question

In the poem the golden cat, a narrator describes a cat who brings joy and light to the world. Which best describes whether this poem is fiction or fact?

a) This scene is factual. We know that poets write a lot about their lives, so the events in this poem must have really happened.
b) This poem is fictional. While the events might have happened, we can’t be sure that they actually happened. There’s no way to check and see whether the poem is factual, so it must be fiction.
c) Cats do exist, and many cats do bring joy to their owners; this poem is exaggerated but is still factual.
d) while the narrator is a real person, his encounter with the cat is fictional.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D "while the narrator is a real person, his encounter with the cat is fictional."

This is because we know for sure the narrator does exist, the story he tells is takes place on Earth but we don't know if the cat does. He brings joy and light to the world but it obvius it does not exist, he is talking to it while it is outside the real world.
