Answer:

B

Explanation:

The narrator talks about how the fire wasting a man that was tied to a stake. Assuming that the fire is symbolic for fate, it makes sense for this passage to describe parraylissis. Especially when looking in the context of the last sentence, describing the man as a "unalterable mold" "made of solid bronze" someone who is unaltered is unable to move, and solid bronze is unmovable by human hands after a certain amount is gathered. I was debating between A and D though, so I'll tell you why I didn't pick D. d refers to nature and mans lack of ability to change it, however where nature is involved in the passage (fire) the man doesn't try to shape or change it, it changes the man.

Answer:

A. Writing that is a product of a writer's imagination, and an invention instead of actual fact or history

Explanation:

Option A is the correct answer.

It is the traditional, and perhaps inaccurate or misleading  idea, of what nonfiction writing is.

Nonfiction writing is the type of writing that has to do with actual and factual events or situations that written to inform or inspire readers. Fiction writing is the writing that has to do with the imagination. It is usually unreal and non-factual.  

Saying that nonfiction is the writing that is a product of the writer's imagination is misleading and inaccurate.
