Which author wrote the novel Beloved and is a Nobel Prize winner?

• A. Toni Morrison
• B. Maya Angelou
• C. James Baldwin
• D. Zora Neale Hurston

Answer: (A)

Identify the author who wrote Beloved and also earned the Nobel Prize in Literature. Beloved is a defining novel by Toni Morrison, published in 1987, and Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993, becoming the first Black woman to receive the prize. This dual distinction—authoring Beloved and being a Nobel laureate—points to Morrison as the correct answer. The other writers listed are all influential figures in African American literature, but none wrote Beloved and none (in the same way Morrison does) is the Nobel Prize recipient described here.
