Comprehension (Unseen)
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer from the given alternatives:
Bangladeshi economist Mohammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank founded by him were today awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their work in helping millions, especially women, in the country overcome poverty through a system of small-scale loans.
The 66-year-old Yunus, the first Bangladeshi to win a Nobel Prize, said: "I think this is a wonderful recognition of our efforts at Grameen Bank, and for all the women who work for us and who have made Grameen Bank a success."
"I am proud of the whole country," a beaming Mr. Yunus told reporters at his home here. The award will "inspire him to complete his future plans," said the economist whose Grameen Bank was honored with India's Gandhi Peace Prize in 2000. The prize includes 10 million Swedish kronor ($1.4 million). Mr. Yunus said he would invest the cash into his financing offers for the poor.
Announcing the award, the Nobel Committee in Oslo said it was given for efforts by Mr. Yunus and the bank to "create economic and social development from below". "Across cultures and civilizations, Mr. Yunus and Grameen Bank have shown that even the poorest of the poor can work to bring about their own development," the Nobel Committee said in its citation.
Mr. Yunus first learnt about winning the prize from a Norwegian TV station, which called him to say he might get the award and then told him to hold the telephone line. Soon after, a voice from the other end confirmed he had won the Nobel Peace Prize.
