Thanks for the question! So we’re being asked here for a statement that both authors would be likely to disagree with, so we have to go back into both passages when confirming this answer choice. Now take a look at (E), which tells us that readers expect complete factual accuracy when they read.
Would author A disagree with this statement? Well, yes. Take a look at lines 9-10, when we’re told that a good narrative required the telling of lies; line 15, when we’re told that effective lies add to stories; and lines 19-22, where we’re told that some lies go too far (implying that most don’t), and some lying is necessary. In other words, having said all this, it’s very unlikely that author A would agree that readers expect complete factual accuracy when they read, since author A is saying that they need lies!
Would author B disagree with this statement? Also yes. Take a look at lies 41-43, where we’re told that “ling is all but inescapable for a writer attempting to create an artistically coherent autobiography.” Well, if that’s true, again, it’s unlikely that author B would think that readers expect complete factual accuracy when they read. And so both authors would disagree with (E), and it’s the correct answer choice.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
