Answer 2

The correct answer is
A memoir is written in first person, but a biography is written in third person.

Memoirs are written in the first person because they are true recollections of the life of the person who is writing them. They are talking about their life. Biographies are written about someone else, like a writer writing about a famous person, so it's in the third person.
