What is the genre of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare?

Romance
Tragedy
Comedy
Adventure

The correct answer is: Comedy

A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a play that is categorized as a comedy, not as a romance, tragedy, or adventure. Although it contains elements of romance, it is ultimately considered a comedy because of its lighthearted plot, humorous situations, and happy ending. While it does involve tragic and adventurous elements, it is not solely focused on them and their presence does not define the genre of the play.
