For Vocabulary, the best thing that I always do is just grab the definitions of each word and see which one matches the question the best.

It may be that, but the thing is we can't give answers straight-up. The point of the site is to help people and not spoonfeed them the answers to everything. If we did that nobody would learn.

I agree with this approach; we may guide other users to finding the right answer, but we should try to avoid giving the answer directly, when possible. Anecdote--a short, self-contained story meant to entertain or demonstrate some point Memoir--a non-fiction account based on the author's own memories Biography--a non-fiction work based on the life of a real individual Description--any language used to convey information about a specific thing Since UGKRza has suggested "memoir" as the correct answer, I will pose that this is not the correct answer. A memoir can be an example of an "autobiography", but it would not be part of an autobiography, and usually would not be "brief", or short. There is a better answer among the options
