Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP Prep Practice Exam

What type of literature attempts to capture a particular moment or feeling?

1. Narrative poetry.

2. Historical fiction.

3. Autobiographical fiction.

4. Epic poetry.

The correct answer is: Narrative poetry.

Narrative poetry is the best choice because it focuses on capturing a particular moment or feeling through storytelling. In contrast, historical fiction may capture a particular time period but may not necessarily focus on a particular moment or feeling. Autobiographical fiction may capture a personal experience but not necessarily a moment or feeling. Epic poetry may tell a grand story but may not be limited to a specific moment or feeling. Therefore, narrative poetry is the most accurate and focused choice for capturing a particular moment or feeling in literature.
