What is the title of the novel by Herman Melville that introduces readers to the character of Bartleby the scrivener?

  1. Typee

  2. Omoo

  3. Moby-Dick

  4. Bartleby the Scrivener

The correct answer is: Bartleby the Scrivener

The correct answer is D. While Herman Melville has written novels such as Typee, Omoo, and Moby-Dick, it is Bartleby the Scrivener that specifically introduces readers to the character of Bartleby. The other options may be popular or well-known works by Melville, but they do not feature or mention the character of Bartleby. Therefore, they are not the correct title of the novel that introduces Bartleby.
