Who wrote War of the Worlds?

• A. The Color Purple
• B. War of the Worlds
• C. Gulliver's Travels
• D. Uncle Tom's Cabin

Answer: (B)

War of the Worlds was written by H. G. Wells. The question asks for the author, but the options shown are titles of works and the work itself, not the writer’s name. The Color Purple is by Alice Walker, Gulliver's Travels is by Jonathan Swift, and Uncle Tom's Cabin is by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Since the author’s name isn’t included among the choices, you’d supply H. G. Wells as the writer. This highlights the important distinction between naming a work and naming its creator.
