informational text
are the big ideas.
They are usually
referred to more than
once in a text. You

only mentioned once.

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.
