What evidence supports the reason? Check all that apply.

Reason: 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.
The Nobel Prize in Literature has never before been awarded to a musician.
What many people do not know is that Dylan has published writing outside of his genre, including a book of poetry titled Tarantula and a memoir titled Chronicles: Volume One.
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.”
