Which novel follows the Joads to California?

Which novel follows the Joads to California?

• A. East of Eden
• B. The Pearl
• C. Grapes of Wrath
• D. The Grapes of Wrath

Answer: (C)

This question tests your recall of which novel centers on the Joad family’s journey to California during the Dust Bowl era. The correct work is Grapes of Wrath, a novel by John Steinbeck that follows the Joads as they leave Oklahoma for California in search of work and a better life, only to face hunger, eviction, and exploitation along the way. It uses their migrant experience to explore themes of poverty, resilience, solidarity, and social injustice. The other options don’t fit this specific storyline: East of Eden is a multi-generational saga set in California about two families, not the Joads; The Pearl is a short allegory about greed and value set in a different context; Grapes of Wrath (with or without the definite article in the title) is the one that directly follows the Joads’ migration.
