What type of genre is the novel "Pride and Prejudice?"

  1. Fantasy

  2. Detective

  3. Romance

  4. Adventure

The correct answer is: Romance

"Fantasy," "Detective," and "Adventure" are incorrect choices for the genre of "Pride and Prejudice" because they do not accurately describe the main focus and themes of the novel. "Fantasy" typically involves supernatural elements or imaginary worlds, which are not present in "Pride and Prejudice." "Detective" typically involves solving crimes, which is also not the main focus of the novel. "Adventure" usually involves action and danger, and while "Pride and Prejudice" does have some conflict and drama, it is not the main focus of the novel. "Romance" is the correct genre for "Pride and Prejudice" because the central plot revolves around the romantic relationships and love stories of the characters.
