Who wrote the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream?

  1. Christopher Marlowe

  2. William Wordsworth

  3. William Shakespeare

  4. John Milton

The correct answer is: William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare wrote the play A Midsummer Night's Dream. This answer is correct because Shakespeare is the only author who is known to have written this particular play. Christopher Marlowe is a contemporary of Shakespeare's and was also a playwright and poet, but he is not known for writing A Midsummer Night's Dream. William Wordsworth and John Milton were both English poets, but they were not known for their plays, so they can be eliminated as well. Remember that when choosing the correct answer, it is important to pay attention to the context of the question and make sure the answer relates specifically to what is being asked.
