Explanation:

1. For the first option: Sentence 1 says Dylan's poetry has commented insightfully on politics, society, and human condition, which is a logical reason supporting the claim that he deserved the Nobel Prize in Literature. So this statement is correct.
2. For the second option: Sentences 2 - 3 (and also 4 - 5) give examples of his actions and works related to social issues, which are relevant to supporting the claim. So this statement is incorrect.
3. For the third option: Sentences 2 - 5 talk about his stance on war, civil rights, and his expression of human feelings/stories. Using relevant examples from his lyrics (which are part of his poetry/literary work) could support these points. So this statement is correct.
4. For the fourth option: Sentences 2 - 5 do offer evidence (his actions and themes in his work) to support the main idea (his poetry's insightful comments). So this statement is incorrect.
5. For the fifth option: Sentence 6 talks about his use of literary devices, which is a new reason (about his literary technique) rather than evidence for the previous points about his poetry's content. So this statement is correct.

Answer:

A. Sentence 1 offers a logical reason that supports Beatriz's claim.
C. Sentences 2–5 could be supported by relevant examples of Dylan's lyrics.
E. Sentence 6 introduces a new reason rather than evidence that supports the main idea of this paragraph.
