Question 1 Report

This question is based on General Literary Principles.

Which of the following are literary genres?

Answer Details
Literary genres are categories of literary composition characterized by similarities in style, form, or subject matter. Poetry, fiction, and drama are all considered literary genres. Farce and faction are also literary genres, but they are less common and not as widely recognized as the other options. Orthography, on the other hand, refers to the conventional spelling system of a language and is not a literary genre. Therefore, the correct option is "Fiction, poetry, and drama."
