Question

question 8 of 10
in what way do postmodern writers often blur fiction and nonfiction?

a. novels include elements of storytelling often found only in poetry.

b. true stories are expanded to include details that may not have
happened.

c. biographies of historical figures are updated to take place in the
modern world.

d. stories with fictional characters incorporate details from real life.

Explanation:

Postmodern literature often challenges the distinction between fiction and nonfiction. Option B describes expanding true (nonfiction) stories with details that may be fictional, which blurs the line. Option A is about novel - poetry elements, not fiction - nonfiction blur. Option C is about updating biographies' setting, not blurring fiction - nonfiction. Option D is about fictional stories with real - life details, but the key in postmodern blur of fiction - nonfiction is more about mixing fictional elements into nonfiction (true stories) rather than real - life details into fiction. So B is the correct choice as it shows nonfiction (true stories) being blended with fictional details.

Answer:

B. True stories are expanded to include details that may not have happened.
