Read the following passage and decide which option A, B, C or D best fits each of the
questions.
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However,
he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as
the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used
for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally
there were five awards literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added
in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is
used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. Every year on December 10, the
anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays
an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but
relatively few literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of
