Who created the philosophical novel Walden?

  1. Henry David Thoreau

  2. John Steinbeck

  3. F. Scott Fitzgerald

  4. Langston Hughes

The correct answer is: Henry David Thoreau

Walden is often cited as Henry David Thoreau's masterpiece and remains a significant literary work in the development of American thought. John Steinbeck, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Langston Hughes are all famous American authors, but they did not write Walden. Option B is incorrect because Steinbeck is most known for his novel Of Mice and Men, while Option C is incorrect because Fitzgerald is best known for his novel The Great Gatsby. Option D is incorrect because Hughes is well-known for his poetry, not philosophical novels.
