“A Valediction Forbidding Mourning” is written by
A) John Donne
B) John Milton
C) Adrienne Rich
D) Sylvia Plath
E) Robert Fros
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is A and C only.

Here is a detailed, step-by-step breakdown of why this option is correct:
1. "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" is a famous metaphysical poem written by the English poet John Donne (Option A) in the early 17th century (around 1611–1612). It is well-known for its brilliant metaphysical conceit comparing two lovers' souls to the twin feet of a compass.
2. Interestingly, the prominent 20th-century American poet and feminist Adrienne Rich (Option C) wrote a poem with the exact same title, "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning", published in 1970. Her poem acts as a modern, feminist response and re-evaluation of Donne's classic piece, addressing themes of separation, language, and connection.
3. John Milton (Option B) is famous for works like Paradise Lost, Sylvia Plath (Option D) is known for works like Lady Lazarus and Daddy, and Robert Frost (Option E) is famous for poems like The Road Not Taken. None of these three authored a poem titled "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning".

Therefore, since both John Donne (A) and Adrienne Rich (C) wrote poems with this title, the correct option is A and C only.
