The nonfiction genre that involves true accounts of only past periods or events is historical.
To determine which nonfiction genre involves true accounts of only past periods or events, we need to analyze the provided options and consider their characteristics.
1. Self-help: This genre is focused on providing guidance and advice to improve personal well-being and skills. It does not typically involve true accounts of past events, so it is not the correct answer.
2. How-to: This genre provides step-by-step instructions or guidance for accomplishing specific tasks or activities. It does not generally involve true accounts of past events, so it is not the correct answer.
3. Historical: This genre involves recounting and analyzing past periods, events, people, and cultures. It is the correct answer because it specifically deals with accounts of past periods or events.
4. Journalism: This genre focuses on reporting news and current events. While it can include historical elements when reporting on past events, it is not solely dedicated to true accounts of only past periods or events.
Therefore, the correct answer is "historical" as it involves true accounts of only past periods or events.
