Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The last sentence in the paragraph clearly gives
support for the idea that the interest in Shakespeare
is due to the development of his characters.
Choice a is incorrect because the writer
never makes this type of comparison. Choice c
is wrong because even though scholars are
mentioned in the paragraph, there is no indication
that the scholars are compiling the
anthology. Choice d is wrong because there is
no support to show that most New Yorkers are
interested in this work. There is no support for
choice e either.
