Question

fact or fiction? 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 better - accuracy of memory for such events. Emotional moments triggering more detailed and long - lasting memories support the idea that significant events (which can be emotional) are remembered more accurately. The other options are not directly related to the accuracy of memory for significant events in memoirs.
