Read the claim from dan deluca's editorial "dylan's nobel prize settles debate: rock lyrics are poetry." are rock lyrics poetry? the answer must be yes. which excerpt from the article provides evidence that supports this claim? "the swedish academy's decision to honor dylan set off an online debate." "salman rushdie, a nobel candidate himself, called dylan ‘the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition.’" "dylan is of course enormously influential." "the nobel is given for a body of work." answer is b

The correct answer is B.  One of the candidates to receive the Nobel award, Salman Rushdie, who already wrote very important and known works, had the noble attitude of, not only accepting the decision and not being resentful, but even praising the winner, Bob Dylan. His opinion is an evidence that supports the claim that Rock Lyrics Are Poetry.

The excerpt from the article that provides evidence that supports the claim is "Salman Rushdie, a Nobel candidate himself, called Dylan ‘the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition’".

This excerpt supports the claim that rock lyrics are poetry because it makes reference to both rock and poetry and, at the same time, the writer implies that there is a link between them. Rock is represented by Dylan, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature 2016 for "for having created new poetic expressions". In that way, the rock lyrics that Dylan writes are also considered poetry. Moreover, in this excerpt, the writer also connects Dylan to bardic tradition. It is called bardic tradition to the poems produced by different writers from bardic schools of Ireland and Scotland mainly during the eighteenth century. Therefore, the excerpt shows that rock is also poetry through Dylan and his rock lyrics.
