What is the title of the 1947 novel by John Steinbeck?

“The Grapes of Wrath”
“East of Eden”
“The Call of the Wild”
“To Have and Have Not”

The correct answer is: “East of Eden”

"East of Eden" was first published in 1952 and belongs to the genre of domestic fiction. "The Grapes of Wrath" is another novel written by John Steinbeck, but it was published in 1939, not 1947. "The Call of the Wild" is a novel written by Jack London and published in 1903, so it is not by John Steinbeck and not published in 1947. "To Have and Have Not" is a novel written by Ernest Hemingway and published in 1937, so it is not by John Steinbeck and not published in 1947.
