What country did the Bronte sisters come from?

  1. England

  2. Scotland

  3. Ireland

  4. Wales

The correct answer is: England

The Bronte sisters were most famously known for their novels, such as "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights". These novels were set in the moorlands of Northern England, which is a significant part of their identity and writing style. While Scotland, Ireland, and Wales are all part of the United Kingdom, the Bronte sisters had strong ties to England and were raised in the English county of Yorkshire. Therefore, the correct answer is England, as it is the country that most influenced and shaped their writing.
