Which author wrote "The House of Mirth"?

  1. W. E. B. Du Bois

  2. Charlotte Bronte

  3. John Milton

  4. Edith Wharton

The correct answer is: Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton wrote "The House of Mirth". W. E. B. Du Bois was an African American sociologist and civil rights activist, not an author. Charlotte Bronte wrote "Jane Eyre" and was not a contemporary of Edith Wharton. John Milton wrote the epic poem "Paradise Lost" and was not a contemporary of Edith Wharton. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
