Which poet wrote the poem "The Waste Land?"

  1. T.S. Eliot

  2. Robert Frost

  3. Percy Bysshe Shelley

  4. William Wordsworth

The correct answer is: T.S. Eliot

"The Waste Land" was written by T.S. Eliot. While Robert Frost, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and William Wordsworth are all notable poets, they are not the authors of this particular poem. Robert Frost wrote poetry that often focused on rural life and nature, while Percy Bysshe Shelley and William Wordsworth were both prominent Romantic poets. However, "The Waste Land" is a modernist poem that explores themes of despair and disillusionment in post-World War I society, making T.S. Eliot the most likely candidate to have written it. Therefore, A, T.S. Eliot, is the correct answer.
