Question

Of the following pairs, the one that is NOT correctly matched is

a. John Steinbeck-Grapes of Wrath
b. Upton Sinclair- The Jungle
c. Frank Norris- Uncle Tom's Cabin
d. Jack London-The Iron Heel

Answer 1

The pair that is not correctly matched is Frank Norris- Uncle Tom's Cabin; Harriet Beecher Stowe is the correct author of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pair that is NOT correctly matched is c. Frank Norris- Uncle Tom's Cabin. The novel Uncle Tom's Cabin was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, not Frank Norris. Frank Norris is known for his novel The Jungle which revealed the unsanitary practices of the beef packing industry.

Of the pairs listed, the one that is NOT correct is c. Frank Norris- Uncle Tom's Cabin. The correct match for Uncle Tom's Cabin is Harriet Beecher Stowe, who wrote the book in 1852 as an anti-slavery novel. John Steinbeck is indeed the author of The Grapes of Wrath, Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle, and Jack London is the author of The Iron Heel. All three works deal with social issues:

The Grapes of Wrath with the Dust Bowl's effect on farmers, The Jungle with the unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry, and The Iron Heel with social and economic problems related to the rise of oligarchy and the plight of workers.
