Which of the following is not a novel by John Steinbeck?

  1. Of Mice and Men

  2. The Catcher in the Rye

  3. The Grapes of Wrath

  4. The Pearl

The correct answer is: The Catcher in the Rye

The Catcher in the Rye is not a novel by John Steinbeck. It is actually a novel by J.D. Salinger. The other options, Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, and The Pearl, are all novels written by John Steinbeck. Therefore, B is the only incorrect choice.
