Which of the following was a fictional work?

  1. Romeo and Juliet

  2. The Odyssey

  3. War and Peace

  4. The Catcher in the Rye

The correct answer is: The Catcher in the Rye

The other options, Romeo and Juliet, The Odyssey, and War and Peace, are all considered to be non-fictional works. They are based on real historical events or based on real people. The Catcher in the Rye, on the other hand, is a fictional novel that tells a story about a teenage boy's journey through adolescence. It is not based on real events or people, making it the only correct answer for this question.
