What Nobel Prize-winning novelist wrote The Grapes of Wrath?

  1. Ernest Hemingway

  2. Saul Bellow

  3. John Steinbeck

  4. F. Scott Fitzgerald

The correct answer is: John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck is the correct answer because he is the only Nobel Prize-winning novelist who wrote The Grapes of Wrath. Option A Ernest Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954 for his "mastery of the art of narrative." However, he did not write The Grapes of Wrath. Option B: Saul Bellow also won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976 for his "human understanding and subtle analysis." However, he did not write The Grapes of Wrath. Option D: F. Scott Fitzgerald never won the Nobel Prize and while he is known for his novels such as The Great Gatsby, he did not write The Grapes of Wrath.
