What is the title of the novel written by Charles Dickens?

  1. The Picture of Dorian Gray

  2. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

  3. Wuthering Heights

  4. Great Expectations

The correct answer is: Great Expectations

While it may appear that the title of Charles Dickens' novel is unrelated to the other options, there is some context that can help eliminate the incorrect choices. The Picture of Dorian Gray and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are both works by Oscar Wilde and Robert Louis Stevenson, respectively, and are not associated with Charles Dickens. Wuthering Heights is a novel by Emily Bronte and, while being a well-known and acclaimed novel, is not written by Charles Dickens. Great Expectations, on the other hand, is a novel that was written by Charles Dickens and is considered to be one of his greatest works. Therefore, the correct title of the novel written by Charles Dickens is Great Expectations.
