Question

Accepted Answer

The Nobel Prize in Literature (2018 & 2019) has been given to :

**Explanation:**

Option 3, (a) & (c), is the correct answer because:

*   **Olga Tokarczuk** was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature (awarded in 2019) "for a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life."
*   **Peter Handke** was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature "for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience."

Therefore, since Olga Tokarczuk and Peter Handke were the recipients of the 2018 and 2019 Nobel Prizes in Literature respectively, Option 3 is the only correct choice.

**Why other options are incorrect:**

*   **Option 1: (a) & (b)** is incorrect because while Olga Tokarczuk did win the Nobel Prize in Literature, Orhan Pamuk did not win in 2018 or 2019. He won it in 2006.
*   **Option 2: (b) & (d)** is incorrect because neither Orhan Pamuk nor Kazuo Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2018 or 2019. Orhan Pamuk won in 2006 and Kazuo Ishiguro won in 2017.
*   **Option 4: (c) & (d)** is incorrect because while Peter Handke did win the Nobel Prize in Literature, Kazuo Ishiguro did not win in 2018 or 2019. He won it in 2017.
