Which nonfiction genre instructs or teaches the reader how to do something? how-to history humor biography

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is How-To.

Explanation:

The non-fiction genre proposes a writing that excludes the fictitious and works with documentary material without being realistic, emphasizes the montage and the way of organizing the material, rejects the concept of verisimilitude as an illusion of reality, as an attempt to make believe that the text conforms to reality and can faithfully reflect the facts.

Inside it we can find the How-To Genre. As their name indicates, here we can find texts that explain how to do something. They contain a step by step with each of the things that we must do certain specific tasks.

An example of this would be a book that teaches you to repair an appliance.

Answer:

b) The cries and laughter of children filled the air as they waded through the fountain, avoiding the different spouts of water.

Explanation:

When Cassandra hears weeping and laughing kids wading through the fountain in Washington Square Park on a beautiful day, it's the line from the narrative that most captures her sentiments about being there. This sentence indicates that Cassandra is enjoying the sights and sounds of the park on a beautiful day.

a) She sighed and opened her eyes to the magnificent Washington Square Arch. Cassandra's feelings about being in the park are not revealed in this line. Based on the fact that she sighed before opening her eyes, we can only presume she was tired or bored.

c) Some students lounged on the grass, while others played instruments as they went around the park. This sentence does not indicate Cassandra's feelings about being in the park. We can only assume she was taken aback by the variety of people she saw while strolling around the park.

d) It seemed as though the fountain water at Washington Square Park Fountain was encrusted with hundreds of diamonds. This sentence does not indicate Cassandra's feelings about being in the park. We can only speculate as to why she was unable to speak or respond to the sight of the fountain.
