Answer 1

Answer: D. was Nguyen intent really to discredit Shakespeare or just show that some of his plays may have been written by somebody else.

This is the sentence that most clearly evaluates an author's point of view. In this sentence, we examine what the author's (Nguyen) intent was. This is an important thing to understand if we want to decide how much credibility a particular perspective has. On the other hand, the other statements do not give the point of view enough consideration.

Answer 2

B what did Nguyen mean when she argued that Thomas kyd "anticipated" the play Hamlet, which everyone knows Shakespeare wrote?

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are trying to evaluate an authors point of view you have to ask this kind of questions, what did the author mean when he said this?, what is he trying to communicate beyond what can be read?, whats the main idea of the paragraph/text, form where does this statement come from?, all of these are questions that you have to ask when trying to evaluate a point of view.
