Which genre is a story invented by the author - based upon actual events, written with the author's imagination?

• A. Fiction
• B. Romance
• C. Fantasy
• D. Parody

Answer: (A)

The key idea is fiction: stories that are created from the author’s imagination. Even if a fiction story draws inspiration from real events or real people, the events, dialogue, and details are invented by the author rather than presented as factual reporting. That’s what sets fiction apart from non-fiction. The other genres don’t fit this description: romance centers on love relationships, fantasy includes magical or impossible elements, and parody imitates another work for humorous effect. So, a story invented by the author and written with imagination is fiction.
