Which excerpt from "Bob Dylan, Titan of American Music, Wins 2016 Nobel Prize In Literature" provides the best supporting evidence for the claim?

"[Dylan is] the first American to have won the prize in more than two decades. Not since novelist Toni Morrison won in 1993 has an American claimed the prize."
"The prospect that the musician would be the one to break the Americans' long dry spell was regarded as far-fetched—not least because he made his career foremost on the stage, not the printed page."

"This year, the prize carries with it a purse of approximately $900,000 and, as usual, inclusion on literature's most illustrious list—the pantheon of Nobel winners."
