The correct answers are C. Includes textual evidence from the play and E. Presents an interpretation of the play

Explanation:

In literary analysis, students are asked to read a literary work, for example, a play or short story and based on this create an essay. Like most essays, a literary analysis essay includes the main claim or thesis statement that is usually the interpretation of the author about the literary work as well as textual evidence from the literary work that supports this interpretation or main claim.

Additionally, this text includes an introduction with basic information about the literary work and the interpretation or claim, a set of body paragraphs with arguments and textual evidence, and a conclusion paragraph. This implies a literary analysis essay about a play includes textual evidence from the play and presents an interpretation of the play.
