1. She is the author of which of the following books?

Explanation

The correct answer is "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." This book was written by Maya Angelou, a renowned author, poet, and civil rights activist. It is a memoir that explores themes of racism, identity, and resilience. "I Have a Dream" is a famous speech by Martin Luther King Jr., not a book. Therefore, the answer "None of the above" is incorrect. Additionally, the answer "All of the above" is also incorrect as only one book is mentioned.
