Question

Which sentences from the excerpt best support the answer to Question 3?

So it needs to be said that nearly all of the anti-Shakespeare sentiment-
actually all of it, every bit-involves manipulative scholarship or sweeping
misstatements of fact. Shakespeare "never owned a book," a writer for the
New York Times gravely informed readers in one doubting article in 2002.
The statement cannot actually be refuted, for we know nothing about his
incidental possessions. But the writer might just as well have suggested
that Shakespeare never owned a pair of shoes or pants. For all the
evidence tells us, he spent his life unclothed as well as bookless, but it is
probable that what is lacking is the evidence, not the apparel or the books.

B. "For all the evidence tells us, he spent his life unclothed as well as bookless, but
