Question:

______ was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913 and a knighthood in 1915.

Options:

Sarojini Naidu

Mahatma Gandhi

Rabindranath Tagore

Mother Teresa

Correct Answer:

Rabindranath Tagore

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 for his profoundly sensitive, fresh, and beautiful verse, and for his skill in translating poems. He was the first non-European to win a Nobel Prize in Literature. Additionally, he was knighted by the British Crown in 1915, but he renounced the knighthood in protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919. Tagore's contributions to literature, music, and philosophy have left a lasting impact not only in India but also globally.
