Who wrote Moby-Dick?

Arthur Miller
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Herman Melville
Nathaniel Hawthorne

The correct answer is: Herman Melville

Moby-Dick is an iconic 1851 novel written by Herman Melville and is considered an American classic. While Arthur Miller, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Nathaniel Hawthorne are all prominent American writers, they are not the author of Moby-Dick. Some common misconceptions may arise as Herman Melville was not as popular during his lifetime, but his work has since gained notoriety and critical acclaim. This novel is a cornerstone of American literature and is highly recommended for those who enjoy classic literature.
