  4. The Scarlet Letter

The correct answer is: Uncle Tom's Cabin

This statement is a quote from the novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Option B, "The Portrait of a Lady," is a novel written by Henry James in which the protagonist, Isabel Archer, struggles with her freedom as a woman in a society controlled by men. Option C, "The Pearl," is a novella written by John Steinbeck that explores the themes of greed and oppression in a small fishing village. Option D, "The Scarlet Letter," is a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne that explores the consequences of sin and shame in Puritan society. None of these novels address the inequality between whites and Native Americans, making option A the correct choice.
