In this task you will be given a text passage from a trivia quiz. You should choose the category this question belongs to from these categories: History, Science, Social Science, Fine Arts, Literature. You can only choose one category, so if in doubt, please choose the closest match.

Q: This author wrote about Octave de Malivert's love with the title character in Armance, and also published a story collection called the Italian Chronicles. This man also wrote about a resident of Lake Como who attempts to join Napoleon's army before that man, Fabrizio del Dongo, ultimately retires to the titular residence. In addition to The (*) Charterhouse of Parma, this man wrote a novel whose protagonist is sentenced to death after shooting at Madame de Renal. For 10 points, name this French author who created Julien Sorel in The Red and the Black.

A: Literature

Q: Harnik et al. argue against the anthropic principle by proposing a universe that lacks this. One instance of this interaction is modeled with a unitary matrix that includes three mixing angles and a complex phase that models CP violation. A vector minus axial Lagrangian for this force leads to maximal parity violation, making this force only affect left-handed particles. This force is responsible for quark flavor changing, was unified with electromagnetism by Glashow, Weinberg, and Salaam, and is transmitted by the massive W and Z bosons. For 10 points, name this fundamental force involved in radioactive decays.

A: Science

Q: They are not diodes, but the light emitting type of these devices produce electro-luminescent light. A dynamic RAM stores data on these devices and a Marx generator consists of several of them. A net torque was not observed on a suspended one of these devices in the Trouton-Nobel experiment. A method for keeping the power smooth involves adding the decoupling type of this device, and the smoothing out of voltage pulses produced by a rectifier is performed by the reservoir type. They consist of two conductors with opposite signs separated from each other by a dielectric, such as glass or mica, and an example of one is the Leyden jar. FTP name these circuit elements used to store electric charge, and whose characteristic property is measured in farads.
