The accurate statement about the authors of nonfinction is A. They are always real people.

Works of nonfiction differ from works of fiction in several ways.

The people, events, places, and ideas exposed in nonfiction are real, not invented.

Nonfiction is narrated by an author who is a real person.

It introduces facts, describes true-life experiences, or discusses ideas.

Nonfiction is written for a specific audience and it addresses a clear purpose for writing.
