Question

Which one of the following is false about V. S. Naipaul?

A.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2001

B.

He won the Booker Prize for his novel A House for Mr. Biswas.

C.

He contributed his stories to the Trinidad Guardian.

D.

He won the Somerset Maugham Award for his Miguel Street.

Correct option is B

The statement that V. S. Naipaul won the Booker Prize for his novel "A House for Mr. Biswas" is false. While "A House for Mr. Biswas" is one of his most acclaimed and celebrated works, Naipaul did not win the Booker Prize for this particular novel. However, he did receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2001 for his body of work, which includes novels, essays, and travel writing that explore themes of colonialism, identity, and post-colonialism. This Nobel Prize recognized his significant contributions to world literature rather than a specific book. He won the Booker Prize in 1971 for his novel In a Free State.
