Which statement is true about Wuthering Heights?

• A. It was published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell.
• B. It was written by Jane Austen.
• C. It was published in a single volume.
• D. It was written by Charlotte Brontë.

Answer: (A)

Wuthering Heights was published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. This reflects a common practice in the 19th century where female authors used male-sounding pen names to counteract gender bias in publishing. Emily Brontë wrote the novel, and its first publication in 1847 appeared under the Ellis Bell name, which is why this statement is true. The other facts don’t fit: it was not written by Jane Austen, and it was not the work of Charlotte Brontë.
