UPSC 2008: Consider the following statements: 1. Orange Prize is awarded to a work of published fiction in English by a woman. 2. Pulitzer Prize is awarded by the Commonwealth Foundation to a citizen of any Commonwealth country for any literary work in English. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 1 is correct: the Orange Prize (now called the Women’s Prize for Fiction) is awarded annually for the best full-length novel written in English by a woman author. Statement 2 is wrong: the Pulitzer Prizes are presented by Columbia University in the United States for journalism, letters and music; they are not awarded by the Commonwealth Foundation nor limited to Commonwealth citizens. Hence only statement 1 is correct. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Prize_for_Fiction?utm_source=openai))
