Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was best known for writing what type of literature?

  1. Plays

  2. Short stories

  3. Poems

  4. Novels

The correct answer is: Poems

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was best known for writing poems. This is because he was primarily a poet and not a playwright, a prose writer, or a novelist. While he may have dabbled in other forms of literature, his most celebrated works were his poems such as "Paul Revere's Ride" and "The Song of Hiawatha." Therefore, options A, B, and D can be ruled out as incorrect answers.
