Question

Who was born in the U.S.A. but eventually settled in England? 

• A. T. S. Eliot
• B. John Donne
• C. Walt Whitman
• D. John Keats

Hint:

T. S. Eliot is a major figure in both American and British literary history due to his dual nationality and influence on both sides of the Atlantic. His work reflects his experience of living in both cultures.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

T. S. Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A., on September 26, 1888. Despite his American origins, Eliot moved to England in 1914 to pursue graduate studies at the University of Cambridge. He lived in England for the rest of his life. 
In 1927, Eliot was naturalized as a British citizen, a significant step that marked his full integration into British society. His decision to live in England, coupled with his subsequent contributions to English literature, solidified his position as a central figure in both American and British literary traditions. 
Eliot's works, such as *The Waste Land* (1922) and *The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock* (1915), reflect both American and British cultural influences, as well as his own personal struggles with identity and place. This combination of influences played a major role in shaping modernist literature, which was influential in both countries. 
On the other hand, John Donne and John Keats were both English poets, with Donne being born in London and Keats in Moorgate, London. Similarly, Walt Whitman was an American poet, famous for his groundbreaking work *Leaves of Grass*, and he remained in the United States throughout his life.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{The correct answer is (A) T. S. Eliot.}} \]
