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.
One example is below.
Q: In one work this author details the life of a tomb-maker who makes extra money by playing the organ at an insane asylum, while another of his novels sees Swartz give a refugee proper documentation only after he tells him his life story in the title Portuguese city.

For 10 points, name this German author who wrote All Quiet on the Western Front.

Q: A compound containing a heteroatom of this element reacts with DFP in a one-step synthesis of sarin gas. Reagents containing this element that can oxidize primary alcohols to aldehydes include DMP and IBX, which reacts through a "hypervalent twisting" mechanism. In two similar reactions employing silver salts, a cyclic cation of this element is opened by nucleophilic attack to synthesize vicinal diols. Under basic conditions, a yellow solid containing three atoms of this element will precipitate after three successive (*) enolizations, giving a positive result in a test for methyl ketones. The Prevost and Woodward hydroxylations employ the diatomic form of this element, which is a common indicator for starch. This element's radical substitution is too endothermic to halogenate alkanes. For 10 points, name this sublimation-prone element found on the periodic table below bromine.
