Detalles de la respuesta
An author's story about himself is an autobiography. An autobiography is a written account of a person's life, written by that person. It is a first-person narrative that describes the author's life experiences, including significant events, people, and places. Autobiographies are often used to share personal experiences, emotions, and reflections, and provide readers with insight into the author's life and perspective. Unlike biographies, which are written by someone else about a person, an autobiography is written by the person themselves. Therefore, an author's story about himself is an autobiography.

Detalles de la respuesta
The underlined expression "wilful youth" is an example of a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as". In this case, the speaker is comparing themselves to a "wilful youth" to convey their sense of irresponsibility and lack of maturity in not having repaid a debt owed to the person they are speaking to. The use of the metaphor emphasizes the speaker's youthfulness and perhaps their lack of experience with managing their finances. Therefore, "wilful youth" is a metaphor that helps to convey the speaker's character and their relationship with the person they owe a debt to.

Detalles de la respuesta
The odd item in the given options is "stanza". The reason for this is that "tragedy", "comedy", and "farce" are all genres of drama or literature, while "stanza" is a structural element of poetry. A stanza is a group of lines in a poem that are separated from other groups of lines by a line break. It is not a genre of literature, but rather a way of organizing and structuring poetry. Therefore, the correct answer is "stanza".
