What term is used to describe stories that take place in a reality that is similar to everyday life?

Genre.
Fantasy.
Realism.
Epic.

The correct answer is: Realism.

The term used to describe stories that take place in a reality that is similar to everyday life is "realism". This refers to works of literature that are set in a world that is recognizable and relatable to the reader. Option A, "genre", is a broad term that refers to different categories or types of literature, but it does not specifically describe stories set in everyday life. Option B, "fantasy", refers to stories that feature elements such as magic or imaginary creatures, which would not be considered similar to everyday life. Option D, "epic", typically refers to long, grandiose stories that are often set in fantastical or historical worlds, making it an incorrect choice for this question.
