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. stories with fictional characters incorporate details from real life.

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

Explanation:

Postmodern literature frequently challenges the line between fact and fiction by reworking true accounts with invented, non-verifiable details, intentionally blurring the distinction between real events and fictionalized elements. Option A refers to cross-genre with poetry, not fiction/nonfiction blurring. Option C is a common realist technique, not distinctively postmodern blurring of the fiction/nonfiction divide. Option D is a reimagining of historical settings, not blurring the core fact/fiction line of the narrative itself.

Answer:

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