The author argues that Shakespeare’s historically inaccurate portrayal of Richard III doesn’t detract from one’s ability to appreciate his work. This is because his portrayal of Richard III remains fascinating and illuminating in spite of it possibly being very inaccurate.

The author establishes that Shakespeare’s portrayal of Richard III is great in several respects, but fails to explain why the great aspects of his work aren’t negatively affected by potential historical inaccuracies.

In order to justify the author’s conclusion, we’re looking for a principle that confirms that historical inaccuracies do not detract from the greatness of a literary work.

Since the author concedes that Shakespeare’s portrayal of Richard III may be historically inaccurate, (A) provides justification for the author nonetheless concluding that those potential inaccuracies do not detract from one’s ability to appreciate Shakespeare’s work.

Leads to wrong conclusion. The author claims that Shakespeare’s work can be just as appreciated regardless of whether its accurate or not, not that Shakespeare should have portrayed Richard III differently.

Irrelevant. Whether Shakespeare can be criticized on literary grounds or not, the fact that his work is inaccurate could still impact one’s ability to appreciate his work.

The author already concedes that Shakespeare’s portrayal could possibly be inaccurate, so (D) offering another reason to believe that it is does nothing to prove that those inaccuracies don’t affect one’s appreciation for his work.

Leads to wrong conclusion. The author claims that one’s ability to appreciate Shakespeare is unaffected by claims of historical inaccuracy, not that inaccuracies should only be corrected under certain conditions.
