What is the title of the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley?

  1. “Walden”

  2. “The Catcher in the Rye”

  3. “Wuthering Heights”

  4. “Frankenstein”

The correct answer is: “Frankenstein”

"Frankenstein" is the correct answer because it is the title of the 1818 novel by Mary Shelley. This novel is focused on themes of creation and destruction, and has become a classic in the horror and science fiction genres. The other options, "Walden", "The Catcher in the Rye", and "Wuthering Heights" are all well-known novels, but they were not written by Mary Shelley and were not published in 1818. Therefore, they are not the correct answer to this question.
