Who was the author of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"?

  1. Shakespeare

  2. Jane Austen

  3. T.S. Eliot

  4. J.K. Rowling

The correct answer is: Shakespeare

William Shakespeare is widely recognized as the author of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." He was an English playwright, poet, and actor who lived during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. His works are known for their universal themes, complex characters, and poetic language. Jane Austen, T.S. Eliot, and J.K. Rowling are all talented authors, but they did not write "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Austen wrote novels, while Eliot and Rowling are known for their poetry and fiction, respectively. None of these authors wrote during Shakespeare's time, making it impossible for them to be the author of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
