In what year did Charles Dickens's Great Expectations publish?

  1. 1845

  2. 1848

  3. 1861

  4. 1865

The correct answer is: 1865

Great Expectations was published in 1861, not 1845, 1848, or 1865. While these years may fall within Dickens's lifetime, they are not the specific year of publication for this novel. Additionally, Great Expectations was published serially in a magazine before being released as a complete novel. Based on the years listed, 1861 is the most likely answer as it falls in between 1845 and 1865 and matches with the timeframe in which the novel was completed and published.
