Who wrote the novel "The Catcher in the Rye?"

  1. J.D. Salinger

  2. F. Scott Fitzgerald

  3. Ernest Hemingway

  4. Mark Twain

The correct answer is: J.D. Salinger

"Explanation J.D. Salinger wrote the novel "The Catcher in the Rye." While F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Mark Twain are all esteemed authors, they did not write this particular book. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote "The Great Gatsby," Ernest Hemingway wrote "The Old Man and the Sea," and Mark Twain wrote "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Therefore, these options are incorrect."
