In what year did Laura Ingalls Wilder publish "Little House on the Prairie"?

  1. 1870

  2. 1931

  3. 1906

  4. 1953

The correct answer is: 1931

Laura Ingalls Wilder published "Little House on the Prairie" in 1931. This was her third book in the "Little House" series and was published after "Little House in the Big Woods" (1932) and "Farmer Boy" (1933). Therefore, options A (1870), C (1906), and D (1953) are incorrect because they are too early or too late in time. "Little House on the Prairie" was published in the early 1900s, which makes 1931 the most likely and correct answer.
