Who wrote Beowulf?

  1. Charles Dickens

  2. Geoffrey Chaucer

  3. Plato

  4. Unknown

The correct answer is: Unknown

Beowulf is an Old English epic poem that is believed to have been written by an unknown author, making option D the correct answer. Options A and B are incorrect because Charles Dickens and Geoffrey Chaucer are both well-known authors from different time periods and countries and had no involvement in the creation of Beowulf. Similarly, option C is incorrect because Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher and had no connection to the Anglo-Saxon or Old English language in which Beowulf was written.
