Who wrote the novel "The Catcher in the Rye"?

  1. Toni Morrison

  2. J.D. Salinger

  3. Ernest Hemingway

  4. Mark Twain

The correct answer is: J.D. Salinger

"The Catcher in the Rye" is a classic novel in American literature, written by J.D. Salinger. Toni Morrison, Ernest Hemingway, and Mark Twain are all renowned writers, but they did not write this particular novel. Toni Morrison is most notable for her works about the African American experience, Ernest Hemingway is known for his short stories and novels about the Lost Generation, and Mark Twain is famous for his children's novels such as "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Therefore, these options are incorrect and do not correspond to the author of "The Catcher in the Rye."
