An account of someone's life written by someone else.

• A. Memoir
• B. Diary
• C. Biography
• D. Autobiography

Answer: (C)

Think about how a life story can be told. A biography is the life story of a real person written by someone else. It uses research, interviews, and records to present events, achievements, and the time period, giving readers a clear picture of who the person was and what they did. That's why it's the right term here: the author is not the subject.

In this context, a memoir is when the writer recounts parts of their own life, often focusing on specific experiences, and an autobiography is the author’s full life story written by the person themselves. A diary is a private day-to-day record kept by the person. So the description fits biography best because it specifies the life story written by another person.
