American Literature CLEP Prep Practice Exam

The Sarah J. Hale poem that gives thanks for the pumpkin's role in Thanksgiving celebrations was titled "The Pumpkin Hymn." Other options may seem plausible, but they are not the correct title of the poem. Option A, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" was actually written by Washington Irving and is not directly related to Thanksgiving. Option B, "The Pumpkin Blessing," while referencing pumpkins, does not mention Thanksgiving and is not the title of Sarah J. Hale's poem. Similarly, option C, "The Thanksgiving Hymn" may seem like a potential answer, but Sarah J. Hale's specific poem about pumpkins is not titled as such. It is important to read the question carefully and pay attention to specific details in order to choose the correct answer.
