Which author wrote multiple works in the list?

• A. Charles Dickens
• B. Michael Crichton
• C. Geoffrey Chaucer
• D. Stephen Crane

Answer: (A)

Spotting when an author appears more than once in the list is what this item is testing. You look at the titles shown and identify which author's name is linked to two or more of them. In this case, Charles Dickens is the author tied to multiple works in the list, so Dickens is the correct pick. Dickens wrote many well-known novels, so it's common for a mixed list to include several of his titles. Geoffrey Chaucer also wrote many works, but in this specific list only one of his titles appears, which is why he wouldn’t be the right choice here. The same goes for Michael Crichton and Stephen Crane—they’re strong authors, but they’re represented by a single title in this list, so they don’t meet the criterion of multiple works.
