Which author wrote The Portrait of a Lady?

Toni Morrison
Henry James
William Faulkner
J.D. Salinger

The correct answer is: Henry James

William Faulkner and J.D. Salinger were both influential American authors, but neither wrote The Portrait of a Lady. Overall, Henry James is the only author among the choices who wrote The Portrait of a Lady.
