When was the novel Tale of Two Cities written?

  1. 1859

  2. 1945

  3. 1719

  4. 1812

The correct answer is: 1859

The novel Tale of Two Cities was written by Charles Dickens in 1859. The other options listed are incorrect because they do not align with the established timeline of Charles Dickens' life. He was not alive in 1945, ruling out option B. Option C states a date prior to Dickens' birth, and option D is during a period when he was already an established author and had not yet written Tale of Two Cities. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 1859.
