Question

Which statement logically and reasonably supports the claim that Dylan should not be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature? Bob Dylan's outstanding career as a singer and songwriter have made him known around the world, and qualify him for any award outside of the music industry. Traditionally, the Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to writers of prose and poetry, while musicians like Bob Dylan have been honored by awards reserved for musicians. Lyrics are made up of words that tell a story, often rhyme, and are set to music; therefore, Bob Dylan should not be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, because he writes lyrics. Those who voted to award Bob Dylan the Nobel Prize in Literature are qualified professionals who know what they are doing.

Answer 1

Answer:The Nobel Prize in Literature has never before been awarded to a musician.

There are numerous awards associated with the work of musicians, including the Grammy, the Academy Award, and the Golden Globe, all of which Dylan has won.

Awarding the Nobel Prize in Literature to a popular songwriter makes traditional poetry seem less important.

Anna North agrees and thinks that “by awarding the prize to him, the Nobel committee is choosing not to award it to a writer, and that is a disappointing choice.”

Answer 2

Traditionally, the Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to writers of prose and poetry, while musicians like Bob Dylan have been honored by awards reserved for musicians.

This is the best option because it logically and reasonably supports the claim that Dylan should not be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. It explains that the Nobel Prize in literature is traditionally awarded to writers of prose and poetry. It then goes on to say that musicians like Bob Dylan are honored by other awards for musicians. The first and last options show that Bob Dylan should be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature so those should be eliminated immediately. The third option says that lyrics tell a story and often rhyme. This doesn't help the author's argument because the author is using traits that are also typically found in literature to say that Dylan shouldn't receive a prize in literature.
