Answer 1

Ответ:

1. I'm sure "Zero K" by Don DeLilo is a science fiction novel because it is set in the future and tells about some new technology. (Я уверен(а), что "Zero K" Дона ДеЛило — это научно-фантастический роман, потому что действие происходит в будущем и рассказывает о новых технологиях.)

2. We can say that Bram Stoker's novel Dracula is a horror novel because it is about some people "who are haunted and hunted by an evil vampire". (Можно сказать, что роман Брэма Стокера "Дракула" - это роман ужасов, потому что в нем рассказывается о людях, "которых преследует злой вампир".)

3. JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel as it is set in a fictional land and there are lots of different characters in it (hobbits, dwarfs, elves, orcs, wizards and others). (А "Властелин колец" Дж. Р. Р. Толкина — это роман в жанре фэнтези, поскольку его действие происходит в вымышленной стране, и в нем много разных персонажей (хоббиты, гномы, эльфы, орки, волшебники и другие).)

Объяснение:

Нужно прочитать описания произведений (см. фото) и определить их жанр.
fantasy - фэнтези ( используются мифологические и фольклорные, а также сказочные мотивы в повествовании)

romance - романтическая история (любовные романы)

comedy - комедия

horror - ужасы

crime - детектив (истории о преступлениях)

science fiction - (научная) фантастика (это такой  жанр в литературе, сюжет которого строится на развитии событий, ставших возможными в результате вымышленных научных открытий и технологий)
