    • Autobiographer

    • Biographer 

    • Poet 

    • Author 

    Correct Answer
    A. Biographer 
    Explanation
    A biographer is a writer who writes the life story of another person. They research and gather information about the individual, conducting interviews and studying documents, to create an accurate and detailed account of their life. Unlike an autobiographer, who writes their own life story, a biographer focuses on documenting the experiences and achievements of someone else. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is "Biographer".

    Which of these is written in acts and scenes?

    • Plays 

    • Character 

    • Poet 

    • Prose 

    Correct Answer
    A. Plays 
    Explanation
    Plays are written in acts and scenes. Acts are the major divisions within a play, usually indicating a change in time or location, while scenes are smaller divisions within acts, often indicating a change in characters or events. This structure helps to organize the plot and make it easier for the audience to follow the story. Therefore, plays are the correct answer as they are the specific form of literature that is written in acts and scenes.

    Which of these is not important in writing? - ProProfs

    Which of these is not important in writing?

    • Semantics 

    • Vocabulary 

    • Grammar 

    • Speaking 

    Correct Answer
    A. Speaking 
    Explanation
    Speaking is not important in writing because writing and speaking are two different forms of communication. Writing involves using written words to convey a message, while speaking involves using spoken words. While grammar, vocabulary, and semantics are important in writing to ensure clarity and coherence, speaking skills are not necessary in the context of writing. Writing allows for careful planning, revision, and editing, while speaking is more spontaneous and immediate. Therefore, speaking is not a crucial aspect when it comes to writing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Text
    Explanation
    Writing is commonly referred to as text, as it involves the creation of written words and sentences. It is the process of expressing thoughts, ideas, or information through written symbols. While writing can be published in various forms such as books, newspapers, or online articles, the term "text" encompasses all of these mediums. Therefore, the result of writing is called text.

    Where was writing first practised? - ProProfs

    Where was writing first practised?

    • Egypt 

    • Mesopotamia 

    • Jordan 

    • India 

    Correct Answer
    A. Mesopotamia 
    Explanation
    Mesopotamia is considered to be the place where writing was first practiced. The ancient civilization of Mesopotamia, located in modern-day Iraq, developed a system of writing known as cuneiform around 3200 BCE. This system involved using wedge-shaped marks on clay tablets to represent words and sounds, making it the earliest known form of writing. The invention of writing in Mesopotamia was a significant advancement for human civilization, as it allowed for the recording and preservation of information, the development of literature, and the establishment of complex administrative systems.

    Which of these is not a motivation for writing? - ProProfs

    Which of these is not a motivation for writing?

    • Publication 

    • Storytelling 

    • Feedback 

    • Correspondence 

    Correct Answer
    A. Feedback 
    Explanation
    Feedback is not a motivation for writing because it is a response or evaluation given after the writing is completed. Motivations for writing usually involve personal or professional goals, such as publication to reach a wider audience, storytelling to express creativity or convey a message, and correspondence to communicate with others. While feedback can be helpful in improving one's writing, it is not the initial driving force behind the act of writing itself.

    Which of these is not a form of creative writing?

    • Report 

    • Prose 

    • Scientific publication 

    • News 

    Correct Answer
    A. Prose 
    Explanation
    Prose is not a form of creative writing because it refers to ordinary language and writing that does not have a specific structure or poetic quality. It is the most common form of writing and is used in everyday communication, such as novels, essays, and letters. On the other hand, reports, scientific publications, and news can all involve creative elements and storytelling techniques, making them forms of creative writing.
