Question

Read the claim from Anna North's editorial Why Bob
Dylan Shouldn't Have Gotten a Nobel.
Bob Dylan does not deserve the Nobel Prize in
Literature.
Which sentence from the article offers a logical reason
that supports the claim?
O He is a wonderful musician, a world-class songwriter
and an enormously influential figure in American
culture.
O When the Nobel committee gives the literature prize
to a musician, it misses the opportunity to honor a
writer.
O "By honoring a musical icon, the committee members
may have wanted to bring new cultural currency to the
prize and make it feel relevant to a younger
generation.
O Bob Dylan does not need a Nobel Prize in Literature,
but literature needs a Nobel Prize."

Answer 1

Answer:

b) "When the Nobel committee gives the literature prize to a musician, it misses the opportunity to honor a writer."

Explanation:

Specifically, what Anna North's essay asserts is that the Nobel Committee's decision to award a musician with the literature prize is a missed opportunity to recognize a writer. An author's written words serve as a means of expression. More original thought and ingenuity is required here. It is time for a reevaluation of the relative merits of music and literature.
