I thought (E) was supported by lines 25-27: "By contrast, when these movements later reached Spain, Spainsh poets treated them with reluctance"

What was wrong with my thinking on this one?

[Dana D]

Hey summer,

The sentence you quoted and answer choice (E) contradict each other. Answer choice (E) says Spanish poets are receptive - or open- to the influence of poets outside Spain, but the line you quoted says they met such movements with "reluctance" - they were not receptive or open.

Hope that helps!

I misunderstood the word “receptive” to mean “being exposed to “ thanks for clarifying
