Which composer has both Romeo and Juliet and the Pathetique?

• A. Tchaikovsky
• B. Chopin
• C. Vermeer
• D. Bach

Answer: (A)

Romeo and Juliet is a ballet score written by Sergei Prokofiev, while the Pathetique refers to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6. Among the options, Vermeer is a painter, not a composer, and the two works are linked to different composers: Prokofiev for Romeo and Juliet, Tchaikovsky for the Pathetique. There isn’t a single composer in this list who has both works, so the statement as written doesn’t align with these pieces. If you’re asked to name who wrote the Pathetique, it’s Tchaikovsky; if you’re asked who wrote Romeo and Juliet, it’s Prokofiev.
