Answer:

B) the moment she remembers the word "Correct?" on her birth certificate.

D) Nonfiction is writing based on fact; memoir is nonfiction that expresses memories.

Explanation:

In "Black, White and Jewish" we encounter Rebecca Walker, who is part Black and part Jewish. This clash of very different identities makes her struggle with the definition of identity, and question what her place in the world is. One of the moments of reflection in the book occurs when she remembers the word "Correct?" on her birth certificate.

The main difference between nonfiction and memoir is that nonfiction is a type of writing that reflects reality, but that is based on fact. On the other hand, memoirs is a type of nonfiction that is based on memories. This means that it is often less accurate, but it also means they tend to present more vivid and unusual descriptions of the past.
