What novel by Charles Dickens features the character Ebenezer Scrooge?

Great Expectations
Hard Times
A Tale of Two Cities
A Christmas Carol

The correct answer is: A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens features the character Ebenezer Scrooge. This novel is not to be confused with any of the other choices listed as each of them features a different central character in a different setting and time period. Great Expectations features Pip, a young orphan; Hard Times features Thomas Gradgrind, a schoolmaster in Victorian England; and A Tale of Two Cities features Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat during the French Revolution. Therefore, these options can be eliminated as they do not have the character Ebenezer Scrooge in them. The only novel by Charles Dickens that features Scrooge is A Christmas Carol, making it the correct answer.
