PrepTest 81, Section 2, Question 26
Winston: The rules for awarding Nobel Prizes stipulate that no more than three people can share the same prize. Nobel Prizes in scientific disciplines are generally given in recognition of particular scientific results, however, and many important results are the work of four or more scientists.

Sanjay: Those rules also stipulate that prize winners must be living, but some highly influential scientists died before their work was fully appreciated.

The dialogue most strongly supports the claim that Winston and Sanjay agree that
the rules that govern the awarding of Nobel Prizes should be changed so that prizes can be awarded to deceased persons
the rules that govern the awarding of Nobel Prizes in scientific disciplines should be different from the rules for other Nobel Prizes
Nobel Prizes in scientific disciplines should not be given in recognition of particular scientific results
the evaluation of individual achievement in science is a highly subjective matter
Nobel Prizes are inaccurate indicators of scientists' contributions to their disciplines
