The Tempest was written by which author?

• A. Jane Austen
• B. William Shakespeare
• C. John Milton
• D. Charles Dickens

Answer: (B)

The Tempest is a work by William Shakespeare. It’s one of his late plays, commonly dated to around 1610–1611, and is often called a romance or tragicomedy. The story centers on Prospero, a magician, and his island setting with spirits like Ariel and Caliban, weaving themes of power, forgiveness, and human folly. The other writers listed—Jane Austen, John Milton, and Charles Dickens—are from different eras and genres and did not write this play, so Shakespeare is the best answer.
