Explanation:
- Choice A is false because the events or people are real.
- Choice B is true (the people and events are real), but it's not the reason why the writer would go for a poem. The writer could go for an essay if all they wanted to do was talk about the person or event.

Explanation:
Third-person narration allows the reader to have a panoramic view of the events being narrated. This allows the reader to have access to all aspects and elements that compose and influence the characters and the scenarios.
Because of this panoramic capacity, Adams decided to write his autobiography with third-person narration, which is unusual, since autobiographies are usually narrated in the first person. This allowed Adams to explain the transformations and influences of nature in his childhood in a more complete way, not only informing what this relationship caused in himself, but how the environment was shaped and modified simultaneously. We can see this, through the lines:

Next to smell came taste, and the children knew the taste of everything they saw or touched, from pennyroyal and flagroot to the shell of a pignut and the letters of a spelling-book—the taste of A-B, AB, suddenly revived on the boy's tongue sixty years afterwards.
