Who wrote “The Bell Jar”?

  1. T.S. Eliot

  2. Sylvia Plath

  3. Ernest Hemingway

  4. J.D. Salinger

The correct answer is: Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath wrote "The Bell Jar." T.S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, and J.D. Salinger are all notable authors in their own right, but they did not write "The Bell Jar." T.S. Eliot is known for his poetry, while Ernest Hemingway and J.D. Salinger are known for their novels. However, none of their works include "The Bell Jar." Therefore, they are incorrect options.
