(1 point) the nonfiction article includes fake details to make the story more interesting. the historical fiction story adds made - up characters and emotions to help readers imagine the event, while the nonfiction article gives real facts and details about what actually happened. the historical fiction story and the nonfiction article tell the exact same information in different words. the historical fiction story and the nonfiction article both include only true facts.

Explanation:

• Option 1: Non - fiction is based on facts. It does not include fake details to make the story interesting. So this option is incorrect.
• Option 2: Historical fiction combines real historical events with fictional elements like made - up characters and emotions to engage readers. Non - fiction, on the other hand, presents real facts and details about the event. This option correctly differentiates the two genres.
• Option 3: Historical fiction has fictional elements, so it cannot tell the exact same information as non - fiction (which is fact - based) in different words. This option is wrong.

Answer:

The historical fiction story adds made - up characters and emotions to help readers imagine the event, while the nonfiction article gives real facts and details about what actually happened.
