Answer:

b) "When the Nobel committee gives the literature prize to a musician, it misses the opportunity to honor a writer."

Step-by-step explanation:

Specifically, what Anna North's essay asserts is that the Nobel Committee's decision to award a musician with the literature prize is a missed opportunity to recognize a writer. An author's written words serve as a means of expression. More original thought and ingenuity is required here. It is time for a reevaluation of the relative merits of music and literature.
