Question

7. Read the passage. Most people have heard of Sherlock Holmes, the fictional London detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Fewer people know, however, that Doyle borrowed the idea for the brilliant Holmes from American author Edgar Allan Poe. Several decades before Doyle wrote, Poe created Inspector Dupin of Paris, France, a detective who used his amazing intellect to solve puzzling crimes. The very first Sherlock Holmes story, “A Scandal in Bohemia,” involves a stolen document in a plot quite similar to the plot of Poe’s earlier tale “The Purloined Letter.”
What similarity or difference between Doyle’s and Poe’s works is pointed out in the passage?

“A Scandal in Bohemia” is fiction, but “The Purloined Letter” is nonfiction.

Both works are set in Paris.

“A Scandal in Bohemia” was written before “The Purloined Letter.”

Both works have similar plots
