Which author is associated with the Divine Comedy as its writer?

• A. Dante Alighieri
• B. Psalm 23
• C. Koran
• D. The Divine Comedy

Answer: (A)

The writer associated with the Divine Comedy is Dante Alighieri. This epic poem, composed in the early 1300s, follows a journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise and is written in Italian, helping to establish vernacular literature as a dignified form. Dante is the author behind this landmark work, often simply called Dante. The other options aren’t writers of the poem: Psalm 23 is a Biblical psalm, and the Koran (Qur’an) is the Islamic holy text. The Divine Comedy is the title of the work itself, not the author.
