The first thing to do is to understand what historical fiction is to then figure out if Ivanhoe, written by Sir Walter Scott in 1820, is indeed a work that belongs to this genre.
Historical fiction, by definition, is a genre that seeks to portray true historical events within a story or literary work that is not necessarily real. For example, many authors seek to create a story and choose a specific timeframe, event or timeline that fits within a certain historical moment. Although the story may not be real, its characters, settings or even events may be invented, some portions of the story, whether in the plot, the characters, or the environment in which the story takes place, may be from real-life historical events or people.
In the case of Ivanhoe, this particular literary work fits into the classification of historical novel and this can be seen because in portions of the text, you find allusions and direct mention of facts, names and events that are historically real. In this particular excerpt, you can see this in lines 4 to 8, where the author talks about the Saxons and their impact on the English way of life at the time mentioned in the story.
Exposition => <span>D) We learn that the woman died after developing a cough. In the exposition, we still don't know where she went and how she died.
</span>Rising action => <span>B) The main character looks for his lover's tombstone. His grief is transformed into anguish because he can't find where she was buried.
Falling action => </span><span>C) The main character falls unconscious on the grave. After the climax, when his beloved rises from her grave with the others and reveals to him that she had actually gone out to cheat on him, the falling action happens when he is incapable of dealing with the truth and falls unconscious. The conflict (her premature death) is thus resolved.
Denouement => </span><span>A) We are left to wonder what was real and what was a dream. This is a poetic diminuendo that has the purpose of problematizing the whole story: we know that we're dealing with an unreliable narrator, who is deeply disturbed by his dramatic love story, but also incapable of owning his problems.</span>

Answer:
Yes, yes they do. And I hope that everyone continues reading books for as long as they can before the world goes mad. And, as of right now, at this moment, I am writing a book.
Explanation:
Information is good for the brain; it stimulates creativity and relieves bordem of many. So, read a really beneficial book so you can prevent wasting valuable time looking at a wall for hours, or going to the fridge randomly when you're not even hungry (we all do this anyway, but, oh well).
