What structure should be used when writing a biography? a. use flashback sequencing to identify information about the person's early life and quotations from the person's acquaintances. b. use conversational dialogue located in transcripts from interviews. c. use the present tense and first-person narrative to give the sketch a personal tone. d. use a timeline to organize the facts and stories, and write the biography in chronological order.

Using flashbacks to write a biography can be a useful tool, however they do not allow generating the sensation of immediacy, which is why the emotion of the moment is cut off. On the other hand, using a dialogue to tell a biography does not allow you to add certain feelings of the narration in the first person and limits the writing to a conversation. Likewise, using the narration in the first person in the present tense does not allow us to return to crucial moments for the story that were made in the past and underestimates the importance of relevant characters for the biography. Finally, the correct answer is “use a timeline to organize the facts and stories, and write the biography in chronological order” since this tool allows you to relate dates, characters, events and stories in a more meaningful way and it is easier to represent the relevance of each of the moments that are intended to be reflected in the biography.

The correct answer is D) Use a timeline to organize the facts and the stories, and write the biography in chronological order. :)
