What is the title of the novel by Ernest Hemingway about World War I?

  1. The Sun Also Rises

  2. A Farewell to Arms

  3. For Whom the Bell Tolls

  4. The Old Man and the Sea

The correct answer is: A Farewell to Arms

"A Farewell to Arms" is a novel by Ernest Hemingway that focuses on the experience of an American ambulance driver in Italy during World War I. This book delves into themes of love, war, and the human spirit. "The Sun Also Rises" is another one of Hemingway's novels, but it is set in 1920s Paris and does not specifically center around World War I. "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is a novel by Hemingway set during the Spanish Civil War, not World War I. "The Old Man and the Sea" is a novella by Hemingway set in Cuba and is not about war at all.
