shoutout to my critical lit class for making us read The Awakening

When I saw the wording "vindicated" in answer choice E, this seemed to me to imply that there was a previous challenge/argument against the value of the technique, therefore requiring the passage to support the beliefs of the lawyers. However, since this alternative viewpoint/challenge to the belief of stealing thunder was never established, the wording "vindicated" in the answer choice indicated to me that E was incorrect. "Vindicated" is a very strong word which is why it caught my attention (and raised red flags) initially while I was answering the questions.
