Which American author named his generation the “Beat generation?”
  1. Allen Ginsburg
  2. J.D. Salinger
  3. Jack Kerouac
  4. Hunter S. Thompson
Explanation
Answer: C - Jack Kerouac coined the term “Beat generation,” and his legendary 1957 novel On the Road became the work with which the Beats most readily identified. Their identity was marked by a conflict between perceived “traditional” roles in society and an individual's search for a unique identity. On the Road is Kerouac's semi-autobiographical story about wrestling with those issues while on a cross-country road trip with a friend.
