Question

what is victor secretly working on?
his mother’s biography
winning elizabeth’s affections
a book about the nature of life
building a living human - like creature

Explanation:

In Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", Victor Frankenstein is secretly working on creating a living human - like creature through his scientific experiments. The other options do not match his secret project: his mother's biography is not his focus, winning Elizabeth's affections is not a secret project in the context of his scientific work, and a book about the nature of life is not what he is secretly working on.

Answer:

D. Building a living human - like creature
