Question

Which two descriptions indicate that a book is a memoir?

A retired doctor writes a book about his life.
A journalist writes about the life of a famous politician.
A woman writes about her experiences as a teacher.
An author writes a story about a historical king.
A man writes about his life as a prisoner in a foreign country.

Answer 1

A man writes about his life as a prisoner in a foreign country.

Answer 2

I would say :

- a retired doctor writes a book about his life
- a man writes about his life as a prisoner in a foreign country

Both are talking about their lifes
The second and fourth ones are talking about someone else's life
The third one writes about her experiences...not about her life
