The underlined title "The Raven" should be enclosed in quotation marks.
The title that should be enclosed in quotation marks is "The Raven".
In this sentence, the titles "English Literature," "Romeo and Juliet," and "The Raven" are mentioned. When it comes to titles, the general rule is to use quotation marks or italics to emphasize the title of a shorter work, like a poem or short story, and to use italics for longer works, like books or plays.
Since "English Literature" is the main title of a textbook and names a longer work, it should be italicized, not enclosed in quotation marks.
Both "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Raven" are shorter works - a play and a poem, respectively - so they should both be enclosed in quotation marks.
