Why should you be cautious about learning all the facts about a historical event from historical fiction? Select all that apply.

Because the story is fiction, the author may inject his or her beliefs about a historical event.

Because historical fiction is about fictional people, you cannot believe anything they think or believe.

Historical fiction provides all the facts about a historical event, but it doesn’t help you determine what is true.

Historical fiction may leave out important details about the event to make the story more interesting.
