What type of writing is found in newspapers?

  1. Nonfiction

  2. Poetry

  3. Historical Fiction

  4. Plays

The correct answer is: Nonfiction

Newspapers publish factual and informative content, such as news articles, interviews, and reports. This type of writing falls under the category of nonfiction, as it is based on real events and information. Poetry, historical fiction, and plays are all forms of creative writing and would not typically be found in a newspaper. While newspapers may occasionally include opinion pieces or editorials, they still fall under the category of nonfiction as they are based on the writer's personal perspective and opinions on real-world issues.
