Who wrote the Gothic novel Wuthering Heights?

  1. Mary Shelley

  2. Emily Bronte

  3. Jane Austen

  4. Charlotte Bronte

The correct answer is: Emily Bronte

Emily Bronte is the correct answer because she is the author of Wuthering Heights. Mary Shelley (A) wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein and is not associated with Wuthering Heights. Jane Austen (C) wrote novels such as Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, but was not known for writing Gothic novels like Wuthering Heights. Charlotte Bronte (D) is the sister of Emily Bronte and the author of Jane Eyre, not Wuthering Heights. Therefore, Emily Bronte (B) is the only correct option for who wrote the Gothic novel Wuthering Heights.
