What is the main difference between fiction and nonfiction works?

Nonfiction works are always true
Fiction is usually longer in length
Fiction works are always set in the past
Nonfiction works are based in real life

The correct answer is: Nonfiction works are based in real life

Fiction works are not always set in the past, as some can be set in the present or even the future. Also, fiction works are not always longer in length, as there are short stories and flash fiction pieces. Similarly, nonfiction works are not always true, as there can be biased or false information included. The main difference between fiction and nonfiction works is that fiction is not based in real life, while nonfiction is. Fiction works are imaginary or made-up, while nonfiction is based on real events, people, and information.
