What does it mean by the characteristics of fiction and nonfiction?

Answer 1

fiction is completely fabricated story concocted by the author and not based on any facts or any real events. Non-fiction is based on documented events and characters and may be published as such. Fiction must carry a disclaimer at the first of the novel that no events or characters in the book are based on real people or happenings.

Answer 2

Fiction includes imagined or invented stories that are not based on real events, while nonfiction presents information that is based on facts and real events. Fiction often uses literary devices to create a narrative, while nonfiction aims to inform or persuade readers with accurate information. Each genre has a distinct purpose, style, and approach to storytelling.
