According to Helen Vendler, the value of any poetry anthology is measured by its representation of major poets. However, Brad Leithauser argues that an anthology has the greatest impact through its handling of minor poets. Were the editors of an anthology of twentieth-century American poetry to exclude T. S. Eliot, Eliot's reputation would be unaffected, though the anthology itself would be handicapped by excluding one of the most influential English-language poets of the Period. The situation is quite different with figures who are considered secondary, like Sara Teasdale or Allen Tate: because publishers rarely keep in print volumes by poets who sell in modest numbers, most such poets have no noteworthy existence outside of anthologies. Furthermore, anthology editors' selections of particular poems may significantly benefit or harm the reputations of minor poets. If notable works by major poets are omitted, serious readers will easily find those poets' collected works elsewhere, but editors' choices of minor poets' works may make the critical difference in whether or not readers choose to seek out more of such poets' work.

It can be inferred from the passage that Leithauser would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about Vendler's view of poetry anthologies?

A.Vendler's concern for the adequacy of an anthology's representation of the works of major poets is based on a mistaken assumption about how editors select poems for inclusion in anthologies.
B.Vendler' s view of poetry anthologies would be more persuasive if it referred only to anthologies of pre-twentieth-century poetry.
C.The kind of poetry anthology that Vendler prefers does not reflect the preference of most serious readers.
D.Vendler is correct about how the value of poetry anthologies ought to be measured but mistaken about how that value is in fact qenerally measured.
E.The standard that Vendler uses to judge the value of a poetry anthology is not a complete measure of that anthology's impact on readers and poets
