In which book do the characters Jean Valjean and Fantine appear?

  1. The Color Purple

  2. Ragtime

  3. 1984

  4. Les Misérables

The correct answer is: Les Misérables

Les Misérables is a classic novel known for its compelling characters, including Jean Valjean and Fantine. In The Color Purple, the main characters are Celie, Nettie, and Shug Avery. Ragtime features a wide range of characters from different social class backgrounds. 1984 is a dystopian novel set in a totalitarian society and does not include characters named Jean Valjean or Fantine. Therefore, the other options are incorrect and do not fit the context of the question.
