Who wrote the poem "Africa"?

• A. Léopold Sédar Senghor
• B. Aimé Césaire
• C. Pablo Neruda
• D. David Diop

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is recognizing who wrote a well-known poem titled "Africa" and distinguishing among poets who wrote about Africa. The poem in question is attributed to David Diop, a Franco-Senegalese poet writing in French who often explored African identity and anti-colonial themes. While Léopold Sédar Senghor and Aimé Césaire are central figures in the Negritude movement and frequently address Africa in their work, the specific poem titled "Africa" is associated with Diop. Pablo Neruda is a Chilean poet whose famous work is not connected to a poem by that title about Africa. So, the author most commonly linked to "Africa" is David Diop.
