Question

review the third paragraph.
fact or fiction?
1 nonfiction, or writing based on real events and facts, can be broken down into many categories. one category is literary nonfiction, which is still based in fact but employs some of the storytelling elements that fiction uses; for example, events are often structured around a plot, with key people being treated as characters. literary nonfiction itself has many subgenres, including a type of autobiography called memoir. memoir most often focuses on a certain period of the authors life or on a common theme drawn from major life events. its writing style is often lush and captivating, but memoir is, by definition, rooted in truth. still, people sometimes question the trustworthiness of memoirs, and they therefore question whether memoirs
select the evidence that the author provides for the following supporting claim: memoir recounts significant events, which people tend to remember more accurately.
people are heavily influenced by the power of suggestion during eyewitness interviews.
emotional moments can trigger the creation of more detailed, long - lasting memories.
memoir gives writers an opportunity to use the tools of fiction while describing true events.
people often write down the details after a significant event so that they dont forget them.

Explanation:

The claim is about memoir recounting significant events and people remembering them accurately. Emotional moments (which are often part of significant events) triggering detailed, long - lasting memories directly supports this. The other options:

• "People are heavily influenced by the power of suggestion during eyewitness interviews" is about external influence on memory (not related to significant events' impact on memory accuracy).
• "Memoir gives writers an opportunity to use the tools of fiction while describing true events" is about the writing style (not memory accuracy of significant events).
• "People often write down the details after a significant event so that they don't forget them" is about an external action (writing) to remember, not about the nature of memory of significant events themselves.

Answer:

Emotional moments can trigger the creation of more detailed, long - lasting memories.
