Which term is commonly used for a piece of writing that provides factual information?

• A. Article
• B. Memoir
• C. Real Experiences
• D. Main Idea

Answer: (A)

Think about writing that mainly shares facts, explanations, or information in a straightforward, informative way. A piece designed to inform with evidence, data, and sometimes sources is called an article. You’d find articles in newspapers, magazines, and websites, built to educate readers about a topic or event. A memoir, in contrast, focuses on the author’s own life stories and memories, with personal reflection rather than just presenting facts. Real Experiences isn’t a standard label for a writing type, and Main Idea refers to the central point of a paragraph or passage, not a kind of writing. So the term that best fits a piece of writing that provides factual information is article.
