The two options that best reflect the difference between a memoir and a biography are:
1) <em>A memoir uses first-person point of view, while a biography uses third-person point of view.</em>
Memoirs are written by the person who lived the situations described (or by a third party as instructed by the "main character"), while biographies are written by third parties, usually experts in the subject.
2) <em>A memoir expresses the author’s thoughts and feelings about events, while a biography is the story of someone’s life as told by another person.</em>
Since memoirs are written in first-person, they immerse the reader in the spectrum of feelings and thoughts of the author. Biographies, on the other hand, are more researched and factual.
