Which term refers to a book that tells a made up story?

• A. Plot
• B. Legend
• C. Novel
• D. Myth

Answer: (C)

This tests recognizing the term for a long book that tells an invented story. A novel is a lengthy work of fiction written as a book, telling an imagined narrative with characters and a plot. That makes it the best fit for a book that presents an invented story. A plot is the sequence of events inside a story, not the form of the work itself. A legend is a traditional tale, often rooted in history but embellished and passed down. A myth is a traditional story that explains beliefs or natural phenomena, usually involving gods or heroes. Because the prompt points to a complete book of imagined events, the best choice is novel.
