Which story would most likely be science fiction? O A. A story featuring a grandfather telling stories of his childhood O B. A story set in a town on one of Saturn's moons O C. A story with a theme about a character's fear of failure O D. A story that focuses on a conflict between two best friends

The answer is B: A story set in a town on one of Saturn's moon.

Science fiction is a literary genre that explores the results of fictional scientific discoveries and inventions usually within a utopian or dystopian context. Science fiction writers tend to employ these fictional elements in order to propose a tacit critique of certain contemporary social settings and how they impact actual humanity.

Science fiction is something that is not real and pertains to science.

Option a could not be the correct answer. The statement simply states that a grandfather is telling stories of his childhood. There is no mention or sense of anything scientific about this. For all we know the grandfather could be talking about how he remembers the smell of his mothers cooking. Yes, it is possible he could be talking about his fathers experiments in science. But since there are more than a million other possibilities, it is unlikely this is the correct answer.

Option b could be correct. The statement tells us about a town that takes place on Saturn's moons. Since Saturn is something that is somewhat unknown to us (humans) and is a place that can still be researched this can involve something pertaining to science.

Option c could not be correct. This is because the statement is to bland. This could be talking about anything. His fear could be of heights or snakes or drowning. It could also be possible that his fear is of something that is then solved with scientific research but since there are more than a million other possibilities, it is unlikely this is the correct answer.

Option d could also not be the correct answer. If a story is focusing on a conflict between two friends, then science will probably not be a factor in that. Unless the friends are science geniuses. Then this answer is not likely to be correct. Also, since it states that the MAIN FOCUS is already on the friends then that leaves little room for science.

This leaves the one possible and most likely answer to be correct, which is option b.
