Which of the following statements are true in the context of Henry Fielding's Tom Jones (1749)
A. Tom Jones is comic and moralistic.
B. Tom and Jones are the main characters of Tom Jones
C. Tom is caught poaching in neighbor's game preserve.
D. The History of Tom Jones is the full title Of Tom Jones
E. All of the above
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Tom Jones is a comic novel with a clear moral purpose (statement A), and Tom is caught poaching on Squire Western's land with the gamekeeper Black George (statement C). The novel's full title is The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, which statement D gives in shortened form. Statement B is false because Tom Jones is one character, not two, and so the 'all of the above' statement E also fails.
