Question 8 • ARC English 10 Semester 2 CR/Summer

Which statement about facts and opinions in memoirs is true?

Answer
A
Facts and opinions in memoirs are synonymous.
B
Many of the facts in memoirs would be considered opinions in other types of nonfiction.
C
There is no such thing as a fact in a memoir: everything is opinion.
D
Most of the opinions in memoirs would be considered facts anywhere else.

Explanation

Memoirs recount a writer’s personal memories, so some statements presented as facts reflect the writer’s perspective or recollection. In more objective nonfiction, those statements might be treated as opinions unless supported by independent evidence. Facts and opinions are not synonymous, and memoirs can contain factual information, so A and C are too absolute.
