What is the title of Ernest Hemingway's most famous work?

  1. In Our Time

  2. The Catcher in the Rye

  3. The Sun Also Rises

  4. The Great Gatsby

The correct answer is: The Sun Also Rises

The Catcher in the Rye was written by J.D. Salinger, not Ernest Hemingway. In Our Time is a collection of short stories, not a singular work. The Great Gatsby was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Therefore, the most famous work by Ernest Hemingway is The Sun Also Rises. This novel follows a group of expatriates in Paris and their travels to Pamplona, Spain. It showcases Hemingway's signature writing style and themes of disillusionment, masculinity, and the aftermath of war.
