Selina Peake is a character in which work?

• A. Nokomis
• B. Jim Elliot
• C. Selina Peake
• D. Simonides

Answer: (C)

The idea here is recognizing when a story or work is named after its central character. When a character’s name is also the title, it points to that work as the source featuring that character. Selina Peake is the namesake of the work, so the piece in which she appears is the one titled Selina Peake. The other names refer to different figures or works: Nokomis comes from a different tale about Hiawatha, Jim Elliot is the name of a real missionary associated with biographical writings, and Simonides is an ancient Greek poet. So the work that centers on Selina Peake is the one that bears her name.
