Which statement is true about The Lord of the Rings?

• A. It is a trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien.
• B. It is written by James Joyce.
• C. It is the second best-selling novel.
• D. It is about pneumonia.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is who wrote it and how it’s packaged. The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy written by J.R.R. Tolkien, published in three volumes in the mid-1950s. That makes the statement about being a trilogy by Tolkien true and led by the author’s name and the three-book structure. It isn’t by James Joyce, who wrote different works like Ulysses and lived in a different literary scene. As for popularity, while it’s incredibly popular and widely sold, saying it is the second best-selling novel isn’t a fixed fact— rankings vary by source and criteria. And it isn’t about pneumonia, which doesn’t relate to the fantasy story.
