Which single word means ‘a written account of a person’s own life, written by that person’?
ADiary
BAutobiography
CBiography
DMemoir
Explanation
An ‘autobiography’ is a written account of a person’s own life, composed by that same person, distinguishing it from a ‘biography,’ which is an account of someone’s life written by a different author. The prefix ‘auto-‘ means ‘self,’ the same root found in words like ‘automobile’ (a self-moving vehicle), which helps clarify that the subject and the writer are the same person.
