Who wrote the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream"?

Charles Dickens
Mark Twain
Virignia Woolf
William Shakespeare

The correct answer is: William Shakespeare

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" was written by William Shakespeare. He is well-known for his many plays, poems, and sonnets during the Elizabethan and Jacobean era. The other options listed are incorrect because - Charles Dickens was known for writing novels, such as "Great Expectations" and "A Christmas Carol," but not plays. - Mark Twain was also known for writing novels, such as "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," but not plays. - Virginia Woolf was a writer of novels, essays, and non-fiction works, but again, not plays.
