Nico is brainstorming reasons to support this claim for his argumentative essay. Student Work Bob Dylan deserved to win the Nobel Prize. Which reasons would be the most effective? Choose two correct answers.
Answer
A
Dylan has been internationally acclaimed for more than half a century.
B
It has been almost a quarter century since an American won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
C
The effect of Dylan's music on his listeners and fans has not always been positive.
D
True poetry does not require music to be effective, but Dylan's lyrics work only when put to music.
E
Dylan is first and foremost a poet, and poetry is often accompanied by music.
Explanation
A is effective because Dylan’s international acclaim over more than fifty years is evidence of his lasting influence and literary significance. E also supports the claim by arguing that Dylan’s lyrics are poetry and that poetry can appropriately be accompanied by music. B focuses on how long it has been since an American won rather than on Dylan’s merits; C and D weaken the claim.
