15.4 - To Tell the Truth

The television game show “To Tell the Truth” premiered on December 18, 1956. A team of celebrity panelists asked questions to determine which of three contestants was the actual person associated with a story.

option 1: Read TWO books, one Book A and one Book B.

Book A: Read a book with a question mark "?" and/or one of these interrogative words: who, whose, whom, what, where, when, why, which, how, whether, whence in the title or subtitle.

Book B: Read a non-fiction book.

OR

option 2: Read ONE book that fulfills both option 1 Book A and Book B.

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4450 comments Just to be sure I understand Book A ...
If the title has a question mark it does NOT also have to have one of the key words ....
And if it has one of the key words it does NOT also have to have a question mark.

For example: The Man Who Was Thursday
Has the word "who" but no question mark.

That's correct- the title/sub can have a question mark, one of the listed interrogative words or both.
The Man Who Was Thursday has "was" and fulfills the option.

Kathryn (kathrynreads) | 11 comments Want to be sure this one meets both. It's non-fiction and has "Who" in the title, but the who isn't interrogative. Is that ok?

Wonder Women: 25 Innovators, Inventors, and Trailblazers Who Changed History

The "who" works and it is non-fiction.

Yes, a ? (or a who) and Nonfiction

Who Cooked the Last Supper?: The Women's History of the World by Rosalind Miles"


If it has a ? and it is nonfiction it works for option 2.

The task does not require the genre non-fiction, but I'll confirm that the book would work for the task
