1 Point
Which of the following is the best definition for a complete biography?

A. A biography that weaves together the life story of several people
whose lives had something in common

B. A biography that includes fictionalized dialogue or situations that
may be believable but are not backed by reliable research

C. A biography that relies more on the author's imagination than on
historical fact

D. A biography of someone from his or her birth to his or her death

Answer 1

The answer is D: an account of somebody’s life written or produced by another person.

A biography is a non-fictional literary rendition of the main events that transpired in a person´s life, but not written by the latter (when a person writes his or her own life events, that´s called an autobiography).

Like all non-fiction, the events that are narrated should be verifiable and they should be based on reliable sources.
