Answer 1

Hint: An autobiography is a biography of yourself. It is written by a person about himself/herself.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to identify the correct option which correctly states who would write the autobiography of Helen Keller.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'Helen Keller’s relative', says that the autobiography of Helen Keller would be written by a relative of Helen Keller.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as an autobiography is written by a person about himself/herself.

Option (b.), ‘Helen Keller', says that the autobiography of Helen Keller would be written by Helen Keller herself.
Therefore, option (b.) is correct.

Option (c.), ‘Anyone other than Helen Keller', says that the autobiography of Helen Keller would be written by any person who is not Helen Keller.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as an autobiography is written by a person about himself/herself, and biography is written by any person other than who the biography is about.

Option (d.), ‘Someone who knew Helen Keller well', says that the autobiography of Helen Keller would be written by a person who would’ve known Helen Keller well.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as an autobiography is written by a person about himself/herself
