PrepTest B - Section 1 - Question 01

I'm overall just confused about this question. Option A paraphrases the first sentence so why was the answer E

For Main Conclusion questions, you need to id either an AC that is a direct reference to the stimulus' conclusion or an exact paraphrase. The stimulus' first sentence says "T's poetry line is misconstrued as a reference to D's theory" whereas A says "T's poetry line cannot now be construed as an apt description to D's theory." misconstrued ≠ cannot now be construed. Misconstrued here, as I understood, is similar to wrong characterization/attribution. E does just what the MC did—"T's poetry was not a reference to D's theory."
