While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: • In 1859, the novel Adam Bede was published in England. • According to the novel’s title page, the author’s name was George Eliot. • George Eliot was widely assumed to be a pseudonym. • A pseudonym is a fake name used to conceal an author’s identity. • A woman named Mary Ann Evans later revealed herself as the novel’s real author. The student wants to identify the real author of Adam Bede. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
