Who wrote the classic novel "A Tale of Two Cities"?

  1. D.H. Lawrence

  2. William Wordsworth

  3. Charlotte Bronte

  4. Charles Dickens

The correct answer is: Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens is the correct answer because he is the author of the classic novel "A Tale of Two Cities." The other options, D.H. Lawrence, William Wordsworth, and Charlotte Bronte, are all notable authors but they did not write this particular novel. D.H. Lawrence is known for works such as "Lady Chatterley's Lover," William Wordsworth is known for romantic poetry, and Charlotte Bronte is known for "Jane Eyre." By process of elimination, we can determine that Charles Dickens is the only author who wrote "A Tale of Two Cities."
