Question

Select the most appropriate word which can substitute the given description:
The life history of a man written by someone else.

• A. Autobiography
• B. Biography
• C. Calligraphy
• D. Autography

Answer 1

The correct option is B Biography

The word, 'biography' means 'an account (or life history) of someone's life written by someone else'. Hence, option B is correct.

'Autobiography' is an account (or life history) of a person's life written by that person. 'Calligraphy' is decorative handwriting or handwritten lettering. 'Autography' is writing done with one's own hand.

As the meanings of the above three words, do not mean the same as 'the life history of a man written by someone else', options A, C and D are incorrect.
