Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions.
One of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a
woman who spent almost half of her long life in China, a country on a
continent thousands of miles from the United States. In her lifetime she
earned this country's most highly acclaimed literary award, the Pulitzer
Prize, and also the most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world,
the Nobel Prize for Literature. Pearl S. Buck was almost a household name
throughout much of her lifetime because of her prolific literary output, which
consisted of some eighty - five published works, including several dozen
novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for children, and more
than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some
twenty - five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were
set in China, the land in which she spent a great part of her life. Her books
and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the
West. As the product of those two cultures she became (as she described
herself), "mentally bifocal." Her unique background made her an usually
interesting and versatile human being. As we examine the life of Pearl Buck,
we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate
people: a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer and a
humanitarian and philanthropist. One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck
without learning about each of the three. Though honoured in her lifetime
with the William Dean Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and
Letters, in addition to the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, Pearl Buck as a total
human being (not only a famous author) is a captivating subject of study.
