Who wrote the poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”?

  1. Robert Browning

  2. Lord Byron

  3. John Keats

  4. Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The correct answer is: Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote the poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”. Robert Browning, Lord Byron and John Keats were all important English poets, but they did not write this specific poem. Browning was known for his dramatic monologues, Byron for his romantic poetry, and Keats for his odes. Therefore, they are all incorrect choices for this question.
