What is the title of the 1882 novel by Henry James?

  1. “The Age of Innocence”

  2. “The Bostonians”

  3. “Washington Square”

  4. “Portrait of a Lady”

The correct answer is: “Portrait of a Lady”

The other options listed in the choices were all written by Henry James, but in different years. "The Age of Innocence" and "The Bostonians" were both published in 1886, while "Washington Square" was published in 1880. Therefore, option D, "Portrait of a Lady" is the only one that matches the given date of 1882.
