Hello, will I ever get a response?

I can help you! I feel like this is a case of the "best answer".

A) states that it is too soon to tell if women are going to be featured more prominently, which MAY be true as the passage doesn't tell us otherwise.

However, E) states that the book suggests there are signs that women are getting featured more prominently. This is definitely true as the author says that the book specifically features women folklorists in contrast to earlier folklore emphases.

You really have to focus on why they included the book featuring women. While A) does have some basis in the passage, it doesn't really have anything to do with the book. E) though, states a similar belief to A) but suggests that women are becoming more common in folklore studies, which is what the book directly suggests.

Hope this helps!!
