What's the major difference between a memoir and an autobiography? Question 1 options:

They are both basically the same thing.

An autobiography spans a person's entire life, while a memoir is more focused.

The answer would be the first option. A memoir is more focused on one specific part of a persons life while an autobiography usually spans the whole thing.
