Answer choice E?
Why is the answer not E? The stim states that the person did not possess a copy of the Hamlet.

Perhaps the spectator paid attention in the beginning of the play and therefore only one of the speeches was a very accurate rendering. Thanks in advance.

I was very confused by the question but I picked D. I assumed that people in the play would know the whole play better than one of the spectators.
