Question

question 7 of 10
what is one characteristic of journals and diaries that makes them more
personal than other narratives?

a. they are usually written in first person.

b. they usually have a matter-of-fact tone.

c. they often address the reader directly.

d. they tend to avoid bias.

Explanation:

Journals and diaries are personal accounts, so they typically use first-person pronouns (I, me, my) to reflect the writer’s direct experiences and thoughts, making them more personal than other narratives. Option B is incorrect because their tone is often emotional, not matter-of-fact. Option C is wrong as they rarely address readers directly (they are private). Option D is false because they are subjective and include bias. Thus, A is the correct characteristic.

Answer:

A. They are usually written in first person.
