    Which is NOT a genre (type of book)

    • Romance

    • Comedy

    • Fantasy

    • Mystery

    • Natural

    Correct Answer
    A. Natural
    Explanation
    Natural is not a genre of book. Romance, comedy, fantasy, and mystery are all genres commonly found in literature. However, "natural" does not fit into any established genre category. It is possible that "natural" refers to books about nature or the natural world, but this would be considered a subject or theme rather than a genre.

    Correct Answer
    A. The tales of flopsy ginger snap
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that "The Tales of Flopsy Ginger Snap" is not a real book.

    • Dr Seuss

    • Roald Dahl

    • Joe Bloggs

    Correct Answer
    A. Joe Bloggs
    Explanation
    Joe Bloggs is not an author because he is a generic placeholder name often used to refer to an average person, rather than a specific individual. Terry Pratchett, Stephenie Meyer, Dr Zeus, and Roald Dahl are all well-known authors who have written various books and have established themselves in the literary world. However, Joe Bloggs does not have any notable works or literary contributions associated with him, making him the odd one out in this list.
