Who wrote "The Canterbury Tales"?

  1. Geoffrey Chaucer

  2. William Shakespeare

  3. Milton

  4. Dante Alighieri

The correct answer is: Geoffrey Chaucer

"Explanation The correct answer is A: Geoffrey Chaucer. This answer is correct because Geoffrey Chaucer is widely recognized as the author of "The Canterbury Tales." While William Shakespeare is a well-known playwright, he did not write "The Canterbury Tales." Similarly, Milton and Dante Alighieri were both medieval writers, but neither are credited with writing "The Canterbury Tales." Therefore, the other options are incorrect."
