The novels of Tolstoy interest me.

I am interested in Tolstoy of the novels.
I am interested by the novels of Tolstoy.
I am interested in the novels of Tolstoy.
I was interested by the novels of Tolstoy.

The correct answer is C. “I am interested in the novels of Tolstoy.”

The other options are incorrect because they use the preposition “by” instead of “in.” The preposition “by” is used to indicate that someone or something is affected by an action or event. In this case, the novels of Tolstoy are not affecting me, they are simply interesting to me.

The preposition “in” is used to indicate that someone or something is located within a place or area. In this case, I am interested in the novels of Tolstoy, which means that I find them to be interesting.

I hope this explanation is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
