Which part of the Tanakh would include the words of a prophet like Jeremiah?
A
Torah
B
Ketuvim
C

D
Nevi’im
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Nevi’im (/nəviˈiːm, nəˈviːɪm/; Hebrew: Nəvīʾīm, Tiberian: Năḇīʾīm, “Prophets", literally “spokespersons") is the second major division of the Hebrew Bible (the Tanakh), lying between the Torah ("instruction") and Ketuvim ("writings"). The Nevi’im are divided into two groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Tanakh, often called the Hebrew Bible, is separated into three sections: the Torah, the Nevi’im (Prophets), and the Ketuvim (Writings). The Book of Jeremiah, Book of Isaiah, and the Book of Ezekiel are included among the Nevi’im.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tanakh is an acronym, made from the first Hebrew letter of each of the Masoretic Text’s three traditional divisions: Torah (literally ‘Instruction’ or ‘Law’), Nevi’im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings)-hence TaNaKh. The three-part division reflected in the acronym Tanakh is well attested in the rabbinic literature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Torah (Law) – five books. Jews regard this as the holiest part of the Tenakh (the Jewish Bible). Nevi’im (Prophets) – eight books. These books describe the history of Judaism after the death of Moses. Ketuvim (Writings) – 11 books.
