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 Dylan’s book of poetry

A quotation by a literary scholar explaining why Dylan’s lyrics are not poetry quotations from both Tarantula and Chronicles: Volume One

A quotation from a Nobel judge explaining that the prize was award

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 quotations from both Tarantula and Chronicles: Volume One

Explanation:

A rebuttal is a refutation of a claim that is made, an accusation or evidence.

The rebuttal here has to do with the claim that the Nobel Prize was awarded based on his songwriting which does not qualify as literature.

The evidences that would support his rebuttal are options A and C because option C provides quotation from a literary scholar that explains that Dylan's lyrics are not poetry from his two works Tarantula and Chronicles: Volume One.

From option A, it is shown that the statistics on the number of books written by past recipients were more than the ones that Dylan wrote.
