What is the full birth name of the author who used the pseudonym Lewis Carroll?

• A. Charles Dodgson
• B. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
• C. Lewis Carroll
• D. Charles Lutwidge

Answer: (B)

Birth name versus pen name is what this item tests. The author who wrote as Lewis Carroll was born as Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He published his works under the pen name Lewis Carroll, but his legal, full birth name includes all three parts: Charles, Lutwidge, and Dodgson. Among the options, the one that matches this complete birth name is the three-part form with Charles, Lutwidge, and Dodgson. The other forms drop the middle name, replace the surname with the pen name, or omit a portion of the name. So the full birth name is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
