Correct Answer:
B. Don Quixote
Explanation:
The correct answer is Don Quixote. Samuel Butler's satirical poem "Hudibras," published in the 17th century, draws significant inspiration from Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quixote." Much like the Spanish masterpiece, Butler’s work features a central knight-errant—Sir Hudibras—who embodies religious and political hypocrisy rather than chivalry. Accompanied by his squire, Ralpho, Hudibras engages in a series of misadventures that mirror the structure and comedic style of Cervantes' mock-heroic epic to lampoon the Presbyterians and Independents of the English Civil War era.
