Explanation:
Literary non-fiction refers to a genre of literature that uses narrative techniques such as descriptive details, imaginary or alliteration that create a literary style based on facts or reality (non-fiction). Literary non-fiction includes works like the biography, chronicle or personal essays that are based on reality but that include language and style similar to fiction works. Additionally, this genre differs from other non-fictional texts such as articles or reports as literary non-fiction uses elements of narrative and is aimed at entertaining rather than just telling or reporting facts through formal language as in the case of reports and articles. Considering this, the best example of a sentence that can belong to a literary nonfiction is "On sunny days, the majestic mountain looks as if you can reach out and touch its snowy surface" because this sentence is based on reality or a natural phenomenon but the use of language in ti such as the words "majestic" or "touch its snowy surface" is narrative rather than academic which creates a style that is similar to the one in fiction works.
