The novel Beloved was written by which author?

  1. Jack London

  2. Toni Morrison

  3. Maya Angelou

  4. Mark Twain

The correct answer is: Toni Morrison

Beloved is a critically acclaimed novel that was written by Toni Morrison. The story is deeply rooted in the history of slavery in the United States and follows the life of a former slave named Sethe and her struggles to come to terms with her past. While Jack London, Maya Angelou, and Mark Twain are all notable American authors, they do not have any connection to the novel Beloved. This makes them incorrect options for this question.
