Hilda16 · Answer

i think it would be d?

kittybasil · Answer

*Here's a hint
`He only started writing after the authorities jailed him for inconsistencies in his accounts for his work in the military (tax collector)`

kittybasil · Answer

Well. I assume it's playwright as that's what he's known for But he also novelized Don Quixote so I'm not exactly sure

Hilda16 · Answer

true, ill keep looking to see what i find

kittybasil · Answer

Hmm, probably "author" as it means he writes many types of things...?
But "writer" also works

Hilda16 · Answer

im sorry

kittybasil · Answer

Haha it's fine.

Hilda16 · Answer

so should i risk myself and put author

kittybasil · Answer

I feel like "author" is too broad of a topic/title, honestly.

kittybasil · Answer

Also, on Wikipedia he's a "writer" (what)

Hilda16 · Answer

i looked it up and it says it is author

Hilda16 · Answer

Miguel de Cervantes spent his young adult life in the military, only becoming an accomplished author later in his life.

kittybasil · Answer

Yeah, that's what I got too when checking online. But "author" could refer to so many things... idk

Hilda16 · Answer

yea u right

Hilda16 · Answer

im just going to put that

kittybasil · Answer

Wait what --

kittybasil · Answer

Are you putting "author" or "writer" ?

Quote:

Miguel de Cervantes spent his young adult life in the military, only becoming an accomplished author later in his life. (I would say this is the appropriate answer, given that he was all of these - a playwright, a short story writer, a poet, and an author. He wrote many plays, he wrote a collection of short stories called Novelas ejemplares, he wrote a lot of poetry, however, he is most known for his novel Don Quixote.)

Hilda16 · Answer

yeaa thats what i got to

kittybasil · Answer

Well, it is a verified answer so I guess we could go with that... will this make or break your class grade though

Hilda16 · Answer

no bc lets say i got a 60% but there 10 questions in each assignment and 2 of those are writers so if i write enough then that will boost my grad up

kittybasil · Answer

Eh... well, if you are not in a hurry I would consider asking for someone else's input

...just in case

Hilda16 · Answer

i kinda am bc the year is almost going to end and i have 4 overdue assignments

kittybasil · Answer

Again, I would say "author" but I really don't want to give you bad advice :/
You can put that... I would wait for someone else to check just in case though

Hilda16 · Answer

kittybasil · Answer

I mean if you're in a hurry I guess that is a pretty solid answer, I'm just not certain.

Sorry :(
