What author wrote "The Great Gatsby"?

  1. F. Scott Fitzgerald

  2. Jane Austen

  3. Harper Lee

  4. Mark Twain

The correct answer is: F. Scott Fitzgerald

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote "The Great Gatsby". Jane Austen is incorrect because she wrote novels during the Regency period, decades before "The Great Gatsby" was published. Harper Lee is incorrect because she wrote "To Kill a Mockingbird", a different novel that gained popularity in the 1960s. Mark Twain is incorrect because he is famously known for his works "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", which were published in the 1800s, much earlier than "The Great Gatsby" in 1925.
