Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

The Stone Angel

Solution :

The correct option is The Stone Angel.

To understand why this is the correct choice, let us examine the authorship of each of the novels listed in the options:
1. The Edible Woman: Published in 1969, this was Margaret Atwood's debut novel, which explores themes of consumerism, gender roles, and identity.
2. Surfacing: Published in 1972, this is a highly acclaimed novel by Margaret Atwood that delves into national identity, gender, and the search for self-discovery in the Canadian wilderness.
3. The Handmaid's Tale: Published in 1985, this is Margaret Atwood's most famous dystopian novel, depicting the totalitarian regime of Gilead.
4. The Stone Angel: Published in 1964, this celebrated novel was written by the Canadian author Margaret Laurence. It is the first of Laurence's Manawaka series and is not a work of Margaret Atwood.

Therefore, because The Stone Angel was written by Margaret Laurence, it is the only novel in the list not authored by Margaret Atwood.
