In which novel by Jane Austen is the famous line "it is a truth universally acknowledged" found?

  1. Northanger Abbey

  2. Persuasion

  3. Emma

  4. Pride and Prejudice

The correct answer is: Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen's famous line "it is a truth universally acknowledged" is from her novel Pride and Prejudice. This line has become iconic and has been referenced in popular culture multiple times. This phrase is not found in Austen's other novels, including Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Emma. While these novels are also beloved by readers, the line does not appear in any of them, making D the correct answer.
