What was the title of Ernest Hemingway’s first novel?

  1. The Sun Also Rises

  2. For Whom the Bell Tolls

  3. The Old Man and the Sea

  4. A Farewell to Arms

The correct answer is: A Farewell to Arms

A Farewell to Arms is the correct answer because it was Ernest Hemingway's first full-length novel, published in 1929. The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea were all published later in Hemingway's career. While they are all famous and well-known works, they are not his first novel.
