Read the following text carefully and answer the question no. 4 and 5:
George Bernard Shaw was born on July 26, 1856. At his ten he was sent to school but he received from there a scanty education. Most of his cultural background he owed to his mother. At the age of 15 Shaw worked for five years as a clerk in a land agent's office. Then he went to London with his mother where he now and then earned a few shillings but never a living. Here he became an active member of the Fabian Society which was founded in 1884. From 1873 to 1883 Shaw tried to become a novelist by writing four novels. But they were a failure and failure made him a playwright. His play 'Widower's House' published in 1893 made a mild hit. Afterward Shaw wrote play after play. Among them, Arms and the Man (1895) Candide (1895), Man and Superman (1903), Saint Joan (1923) are famous. In 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his great contribution in literature. Three weeks after his ninety fifth birthday George Bernard Shaw died.
