It was the first step of a steep decline in mental health for Dr. Nash. There were more hospitalizations. Nash underwent electroshock therapy and fled for a while to Europe, sending cryptic postcards to colleagues and family members. For many years, he roamed the Princeton campus, a lonely figure scribbling unintelligible formulas on the same blackboards in Fine Hall on which he had once demonstrated startling mathematical feats. [3]
At this point, the writer is considering adding the following true statement:     He was awarded the Nobel Prize—a towering career achievement—in 1994. 
Would this be a relevant addition to make here?

• Yes, because it provides information that helps the reader understand the importance of receiving a Nobel Prize.
• Yes, because it supports the passage’s focus on Nash’s professional career.
• No, because it introduces information that does not focus on Nash’s mental illness.
• No, because it undermines the seriousness of Nash’s struggles with mental illness.
