The correct answer is: [E]:
"Fiction and non-fiction could share some characteristics like imagery, setting, and figurative language."
Explanation:
Note that works of "non-fiction"; which pertain to "true events"; can still have their biases and still can be creative and descriptive within their creations. Setting (time and place)—as well as imagery can definitely be demonstrated within "non-fiction" (truthful events)—as well as in creative writing that is "fiction" [that would include made-up novels. Figurative language—such as figures of speech, idioms, alliteration—may be used in "non-fiction" accounts and works to entertain the reader and do not necessarily make "non-fiction" less true! We often associate these attributes with fictional works—however, non-fiction works may have these characteristics, as well!
Additionally, some types of fiction—including "novels, plays, movies"—may, in fact, be categorized as "historical fiction." Such works may even be assigned as "required reading" for junior high/middle school, high school, and college/university/post-secondary education classes in history, literature, ethnic students, sociology, anthropology, geography, theatre arts, and in many other disciplines—as well!
As explained above:
Consider the answer choices:
Choice: [A]: "Fiction and nonfiction do not share any similar characteristics." This is clearly untrue. As explained above, Choice: [E]: is a "true" answer. Also, my explanations above clearly show that Choice: [A]: is "Incorrect." Rule out "Choice: [A]:
Choice [B]: "All of the above" . It seems that the answer choices have been places in "mixed order"; since there is only one "All of the above"; and there are no answer choices such: "None of the above".
or: "Choices: _1_ and 2 (and _3_) are correct."
As such, we can interpret this answer choice to read:
"All of the given answer choices are correct."
We have ruled out "Choice: [A]" ; so we know that "Choice: [A]" cannot be correct; as such:
Choice: [B]: "All of the above" ["all of the answers choices given"]:
cannot be correct. Rule out "Choice: [B]."
Choice: [C]: "Non-fiction texts do not use figures of speech."
Note: As mentioned above, non-fiction texts can—and do!— use "figures of speech", including idioms and idiomatic expression—and doing so does not make such a "non-fiction work" any "less truthful"!
Choice: [C] is not correct. Rule out "Choice: [C]."
Choice: [D]: "Fiction does not have to be logically organized or clear for most readers to understand it."
No; this statement is incorrect. It does not make sense. If any work of fiction (or non-fiction, for that matter) is not "logically organized"—AND/OR is "not clear"—most readers would have at least some difficulty understanding it.
In fact, there are well-known works of fiction that do not seem clear to most readers [e.g. "novice" but are popular—especially in academic settings or among intellectuals—because one would have to have to learn the historical background of the author, the history of the setting (place and time when the author wrote the book—and/or when the fictional story was meant to take place—the political and/or social and/or economic conditions at the time—and perhaps the author's personal circumstances—including why the author wrote the book.
We are left with:
Choice: [E]: "Fiction and nonfiction could share some characteristics like imagery, setting, and figurative language."
→ which is the correct answer.
This statement: Answer choice: [E]: is correct—as explained above—and as explained above about how "Answer Choice: [C]" was ruled out.
Hope this answer—and explanation—is helpful to you!
