In which year did Faulkner receive the Nobel Prize in Literature?
Answer: B
The key is 1949. William Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for 1949: the Swedish Academy reserved the award that year and announced it in November 1950, and he gave his acceptance speech in Stockholm in December 1950. Because the prize belongs to 1949, the options 1948, 1950 and 1951 are wrong, even though 1950 is the year he received it. The Swedish Academy gave the 1949 prize to Faulkner for his powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel, and he accepted it in December 1950 with the speech about the human heart in conflict with itself. So 1949 is the year of the prize.
