In what century were the works of John Donne written?

  1. 16th century

  2. 17th century

  3. 15th century

  4. 18th century

The correct answer is: 17th century

The works of John Donne were written in the 17th century, specifically in the years 1572-1631. This was known as the Elizabethan era, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Option A, the 16th century, would have been incorrect as it refers to the Tudor period before Queen Elizabeth I's rule. Option C, the 15th century, would have been incorrect as it refers to the medieval period before the Renaissance. Option D, the 18th century, would have been incorrect as it refers to the Georgian period after the Renaissance. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer as it falls within the correct time period for John Donne's literary works.
