These plays were about the bible, saints, or sometimes just about a situation where it's shown the correct path to be taken when choices seem ambiguous. Those plays were meant to teach others how to act and how to be moral and good.
The statement that is true about mystery, miracle, and morality plays is that the chief aim of these plays was to instruct the people. However, the manner of directing people is different as morality plays proposed moral lessons through allegorical personalities(characters) while mystery plays portrayed biblical subjects to celebrate God and his actions that suggested people to follow the path of religion. Miracle plays communicated the tales of the lives of saints in order to instruct people about the ideal way of living. Thus, despite the distinction in the manner of portrayal, the common goal of all three is to instruct and direct the people. Therefore, <u>option E</u> is the answer.
