New Yorkers have a renewed interested in the work of Shakespeare. E. Shakespeare was a psychiatrist as well as a playwright.
Options- A. A
- B. B
- C. C

ExplanationThe 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.
