Which form of writing is concerned with letters and through correspondence?

• A. Epistolary
• B. Prescriptive Writing
• C. Reminiscence
• D. Narrative

Answer: (A)

Epistolary writing centers on letters and correspondence. It presents information or a story through the exchange of letters, diaries, or other documents written by the characters themselves, giving readers a sense of intimate communication and perspective. This form is named for its focus on epistles—letters—assembling the narrative from these personal exchanges. The other forms described don’t center on letter-writing: prescriptive writing aims to give instructions or rules; reminiscence focuses on recalling past experiences; narrative is a broad term for storytelling that can take many shapes beyond letters. Because this form specifically uses letters and written exchanges to convey the content, epistolary writing is the best fit.
