Read the following passage and choose the correct answer
Fiction is the writing of a story or text that is not true: It can be written in the form of either poetry
or prose. Poetry is a style of writing in which short lines form verses. Often, words at the end of these
lines rhyme, like “bed” and “red”. We call a group of verses about one subject a “poem”. Prose writing
does not have verses, nor does it rhyme. It uses sentences and paragraphs. Prose is used in magazine
articles, newspaper stories, short stories, and books.
Prose fiction has existed since ancient times, but most early fiction was actually written as poetry.
Scholars disagree about the date of the first prose fiction book, or novel. Some scholars classify
fictional stories from ancient Greece and Rome as the early novels in Asia as early as the 6 th century.
These early novels were mostly short adventure stories about fictional characters.
In Europe, prose fiction began to seriously challenge poetry in the 16 th century. A Spanish author,
Cervantes, wrote Europe’s first prose novel in the early 1600s. However, longer novels, like Cervantes ’s
Don Quixote, did not become very popular until the 1700s. By that time, there were more printing
presses, and more people knew how to read. In addition, more people had money to buy these books.
Today, the vast majority of fiction is written in prose rather than in poetry. Prose: văn xuôi; verse: thơ
