A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy author?

• A. Clarke
• B. Orwell
• C. Adams
• D. Tolkien

Answer: (C)

Douglas Adams is the author behind The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He created the series, which began as a BBC radio comedy in 1978 and then spun off into novels and other media. The distinctive humor, quirky space adventures, and running gags like the number 42 are hallmarks of his style. The other authors listed are known for different works—Arthur C. Clarke for science fiction like 2001: A Space Odyssey, George Orwell for dystopian novels such as 1984, and J. R. R. Tolkien for high fantasy like The Lord of the Rings—so they aren’t associated with this work.
