A novel by the deceased author Virginia Woolf that, in its manuscript form, was 48 chapters long and contained 200,000 words is being edited and reduced to 30 chapters and 70,000 words. Every word in the book will be Woolfs own, and the chapters will appear in the order in which she wrote them. The published result will therefore be an authentic Virginia Woolf novel.
The claim that the new work is an authentic Virginia Woolf novel will be most damaged if which of the following is true?
(A) A portion of the manuscript material that editors omitted from the published novel is almost identical to material that Virginia Woolf published in a nonfiction book during her lifetime.
(B) Critics have argued that Virginia Woolfs writing style in the period during which she wrote this manuscript sometimes lacks conCIseness.
(C) An authentic novel is characterized by its author's decisions about what should be included in it and what sort of emphasis should be given to what is included.
(D) An authentic novel contains dialogue, characterization, and narrative structures that are recognizably like those found in the author's other major writings, if such writings exist.
(E) Not many of the novels that Virginia Woolf published during her lifetime contain as few as 70,000 words.
Kudos for the right OA and explanation
