Who wrote “The Waste Land”?

  1. Emily Dickinson

  2. Robert Frost

  3. T.S. Eliot

  4. Ezra Pound

The correct answer is: T.S. Eliot

T.S. Eliot wrote "The Waste Land." Option A, Emily Dickinson, is incorrect because she is known for her poetry, while "The Waste Land" is a famous poem by T.S. Eliot. Option B, Robert Frost, is incorrect because he is another famous American poet, but not the author of "The Waste Land." Option D, Ezra Pound, may be a tempting choice because he was a friend and mentor to T.S. Eliot, but he did not write the poem himself.
