The term "the American Dream" was popularized by which author?

  3. James Joyce

  4. Emily Dickinson

The correct answer is: F. Scott Fitzgerald

Option C is incorrect because James Joyce was an Irish author, and the concept of the American Dream is specific to the United States. Option D is incorrect because Emily Dickinson was a poet and did not write novels or popularize the phrase "the American Dream."
