Who wrote the epic poem "Beowulf"?

  1. Homer

  2. Lord Byron

  3. Giacomo Puccini

  4. Unknown

The correct answer is: Unknown

The writer of "Beowulf" is actually unknown, hence the multiple choice answer "Unknown". It was written anonymously between the 8th and 11th centuries, during the Anglo-Saxon period. Option A, Homer, is known for writing the ancient Greek poems "Iliad" and "Odyssey". Option B, Lord Byron, is a well-known poet from the 19th century, and Option C, Giacomo Puccini, was an Italian composer known for his operas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Therefore, they are all incorrect options as they were not active during the time period in which "Beowulf" was written.
