Who wrote The Waste Land?

  1. Robert Frost

  2. Walt Whitman

  3. T.S. Eliot

  4. John Donne

The correct answer is: T.S. Eliot

T.S. Eliot wrote The Waste Land. Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, and John Donne are all notable poets of the same time period, but they did not write this particular poem. Robert Frost was an American poet, while Whitman and Donne were English poets, and The Waste Land was written by an American-born British poet, T.S. Eliot. It is important to read the question carefully and consider the context before selecting an answer choice.
