(A) literature classes can teach students successfully even if they are only right a fraction of the time.

(B) teachers that analyze the success of their students are just as good teachers as those that don’t.

(C) teachers consistently teaching literature must be careful in giving essay tests to avoid the presumption that their point of view is always correct.

Premise: A teacher in an English literature class analysed answers given to her students on a written test.
Conclusion: Their answers for a given essay were right, on average, 60 percent of the time.

Pre-thinking:- The teacher can correctly determine if the answer can be classified as correct or incorrect, and they can do so efficiently.

Option A - Incorrect:
Out of scope- we are not concerned if literature classes can be successful or not

Option B - Incorrect:
Suppose, even if they are not good teachers, does it impact the way the teacher assesses that 60% of the time, the answer is correct? No, it doesn't. So, this cannot be the answer

Option C - Incorrect:
Out of scope- no such mention of avoiding the presumption

Option D - Incorrect:
Even if the likeness is not the same, it can still be calculated by the teacher and come to a conclusion given above. Hence, this cannot be the answer

Option E - Correct:
Now, this seems correct. If it says NOT possible to clarify them as right or wrong, then, the whole argument will fall apart. Hence, this is a correct assumption and thus, the CORRECT answer
