Who wrote "A Christmas Carol"?

  1. Charles Dickens

  2. Jane Austen

  3. Mark Twain

  4. Charlotte Bronte

The correct answer is: Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol". This is a known fact and can be found in many literary references. "A Christmas Carol" is one of Charles Dickens' most well-known works and has become a classic holiday story. The other options (Jane Austen, Mark Twain, and Charlotte Bronte) are incorrect because they did not write "A Christmas Carol". Jane Austen was an English novelist known for her works such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility". Mark Twain was an American writer known for his renowned works "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". Charlotte Bronte was an English novelist best known for her novel "Jane Eyre". None of these authors have any connection to "A Christmas Carol", making them incorrect choices.
