a person who practices fencing

Explanation:

The major described as having been a great fencer shows he was practiced in "pretend" or sport fighting, not fighting for survival or bravely.

I believe this is the correct answer:
<span><em>So before a battle begins, the horses paw the ground; toss their heads; the light shines on their flanks; their necks curve. So Peter Walsh and Clarissa, sitting side by side on the blue sofa, challenged each other. 

</em>I would choose that particular paragraphs because the metaphor is slightly unusual there - two kids, Clarissa and Peter Walsh (when they were young) are being compared to horses, which is not really a common occurrence. <em>

What distinguishes literary nonfiction from traditional nonfiction?
MariettaO [177]

Answer: D. Characterization

Literary nonfiction (also known as creative nonfiction, narrative nonfiction or verfabula) is a type of writing that uses various literary techniques in order to create historically accurate narratives. It is written with florid language and for entertainment, which is different from other types of non-fiction writing such as journalism.

Literary nonfiction still retains biographical and historical data, and it tries to maintain factual accuracy. It does not contain supernatural elements, as it is still a form of nonfiction. However, it does rely on characterization for entertainment and to make the story more engaging.
