Difficulty—
A well-known poem in praise of Elizabeth I of England, dating from about 1585, has until now been of unknown authorship. It has been discovered, however, that the poem contains several lines that appear in works dating from about 1560- 1570 by Anne Holtom. Elizabethan poets commonly reused lines from their own earlier work in poems they were working on. Most probably, therefore, Anne Holtom is the author of the 1585 poem.
Determining which of the following would be most useful in evaluating the argument given?
A. Whether Elizabethan poets were likely to include in their poems lines from works of other poets
B. Whether Elizabethan poets, when reusing lines from their earlier work, expected their readers to readily recognize such instances of reuse
C. Whether there are any poems that, although known to be by Anne Holtom, cannot be dated even approximately
D. Whether there were well-established conventions among Elizabethan poets regarding points to include in a poem in praise of a monarch
E. Whether Anne Holtom is known to have written poems of which no copy survives today
