Question

what type of evidence would support the rebuttal? check all that apply.
rebuttal: it is true that bob dylan has published traditional poetry and prose. however, one book of poetry and one memoir would not qualify him for the prize. the prize was awarded based on his songwriting, which does not qualify as literature.
statistics about the number of books written by past recipients of the nobel prize in literature
a review that an acclaimed literary professional wrote about bob dylans book of poetry
a quotation by a literary scholar explaining why dylans lyrics are not poetry
quotations from both tarantula and chronicles: volume one
a quotation from a nobel judge explaining that the prize was awarded because of dylans lyrics

Explanation:

1. Statistics about past recipients: This would show if 1 poetry book + 1 memoir is below the typical output of literature laureates, supporting the claim Dylan doesn't qualify.
2. Scholar quotation re: lyrics not poetry: Directly backs the rebuttal that his songwriting (lyrics) is not literature.
3. Nobel judge quotation re: lyrics as reason: Confirms the prize was given for his unqualified songwriting, strengthening the rebuttal.

The other options either support Dylan's literary credentials (poetry review, his own works) or do not address the rebuttal's core claims.

Answer:

• statistics about the number of books written by past recipients of the Nobel Prize in Literature
• a quotation by a literary scholar explaining why Dylan's lyrics are not poetry
• a quotation from a Nobel judge explaining that the prize was awarded because of Dylan's lyrics
