Which composer has more than one work in the list?

• A. Wagner
• B. Tchaikovsky
• C. R. Strauss
• D. Verdi

Answer: (D)

This question tests recognizing when a single composer has more than one work represented in a given list. Verdi stands out because he produced a large number of famous operas that routinely appear together in collections, curricula, or quiz samples. Because of this prolific and frequently-represented catalog, it’s common for a list to include multiple Verdi titles, making him the best choice when you’re asked to identify a composer with more than one work in the set. While the other composers also have important works, they’re less likely to be shown more than once in a typical mixed list, which is why Verdi fits the requirement best.
