VIII. Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally

weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile

contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace.
Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel’s original legacy of
nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $ 30,000 to
$125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and
money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges’ decisions.
