Which of these important figures was not associated with the Enlightenment period?

  1. John Locke

  2. Voltaire

  3. Homer

  4. William Shakespeare

The correct answer is: Homer

John Locke and Voltaire were influential figures of the Enlightenment period, espousing ideas such as natural rights and religious toleration. William Shakespeare, although not typically associated with the Enlightenment, was a prominent playwright and poet during the Renaissance period. Homer, on the other hand, was an ancient Greek poet who lived long before the Enlightenment era, making him the only option among the four choices who was not associated with the Enlightenment period.
