Who among the following has not won a Noble Prize in Literature?
-
A.
Walt Whitman
-
B.
Sinclair Lewis
-
C.
William Faulkner
-
D.
Toni Morrison
Correct Answer:
A. Walt Whitman
Explanation:
The correct answer is Walt Whitman. While Sinclair Lewis (1930), William Faulkner (1949), and Toni Morrison (1993) were all recipients of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Walt Whitman passed away in 1892, nearly a decade before the first Nobel Prizes were established and awarded in 1901. Whitman is celebrated as a foundational figure in American poetry, particularly for his work Leaves of Grass, but he predates the history of the Nobel Prize.
