Read the excerpt from "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics Are Poetry." Dylan is of course enormously influential. Springsteen, who referred to him as "The Father of My Country” in his new Born To Run memoir , is one of many who were once known as "New Dylans.” Every singer-songwriter with a personal story to tell owes him a debt, and hearing the above lines read or sung aloud, with their knack for internal rhyme, call up inevitable parallels to the dense playful language of rap. The Nobel is given for a body of work, and comes with a prize of 8 million Swedish kronor, which translates into approximately $900,000. Which evidence in this paragraph supports the idea that Dylan is extremely influential? Choose three correct answers.
Answer
A
Many artists were known as "New Dylans."
B
Dylan’s use of internal rhyme is echoed in rap music.
C
The Nobel Prize includes an award of 8 million kronor.
D
Springsteen referred to Dylan as "The Father of My Country."
E

Explanation
The paragraph shows Dylan’s influence through the ways other musicians reflect his work and legacy. His internal rhymes are compared to language in rap music, suggesting his style influenced that genre. Many artists were once called “New Dylans,” and Springsteen called Dylan “The Father of My Country,” both of which show how strongly he influenced other musicians. The facts about the Nobel Prize and its monetary value do not show his influence.
