which of the following is the best definition for a complete biography?

a. a biography that weaves together the life story of several people
whose lives had something in common

b. a biography that includes fictionalized dialogue or situations that
may be believable but are not backed by reliable research

c. a biography that relies more on the author's imagination than on
historical fact

d. a biography of someone from his or her birth to his or her death

The answer is D: an account of somebody’s life written or produced by another person.

A biography is a non-fictional literary rendition of the main events that transpired in a person´s life, but not written by the latter (when a person writes his or her own life events, that´s called an autobiography).

Like all non-fiction, the events that are narrated should be verifiable and they should be based on reliable sources.

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.
