I can see why its A, but I don't understand what eliminates C and D.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: PT 43, RC, NUMBER 21
Hi, I am not big on RC sections, and I will, honestly, cross out A in this case.:p
And I don't know why C is incorrect.
But as for D, I think line 49-55 is the reason for not choosing it.In line 52, "legitimate additional insights and understandings continue to emerge years after an ostensibly definitive interpretation ... has been articulated" , that refers to "when the subtleties of the work's social -historical context are not available" in choice D. And since the author called the understandings "legitimate", "A literary work from the past can rarely be read properly" in choice D is not a correct description.

I read it a second time, and I think the answer is in line 27-32. Choice A says if the author has intended a meaning, the critics would have found it, which is I think what line 27-32 says; choice C says if the author has not intended a meaning, the critics would not have found it, which is the wrong negation.
