Answer 1

The first Latin American winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature was Gabriela Mistral, who won the award in 1945. She was born in Chile. Therefore, the correct answer is **Chile**.

**Explanation:** Gabriela Mistral is regarded as the first Latin American to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature, and since she was born in Chile, that option is the correct choice. Puerto Rico, Honduras, and Argentina do not have a Nobel Prize laureate in literature predating her from Latin America.
