Which of the following is NOT a type of informational text?

  1. Expository

  2. Literary nonfiction

  3. Persuasive

  4. Creative fiction

The correct answer is: Creative fiction

Creative fiction is not a type of informational text because it is primarily designed to entertain and tell a story through invented characters and plots. Unlike other forms of informational texts, which aim to present facts, explain concepts, or provide arguments, creative fiction focuses on imaginative narratives and artistic expression. Expository texts, literary nonfiction, and persuasive texts all serve to inform or persuade the reader based on factual information, analysis, or opinion. In contrast, creative fiction prioritizes storytelling over factual or informative content, making it distinct from the other categories mentioned.
