The probability of getting an e from this text is the number of e present in this text divided by the total number of letters.
If you count the total number of letters in the text (excluding punctuation and spaces), it is 101.
If you count the total number of e's in the text, it is 18.
So the probability is [tex]\frac{18}{101}=0.1782[/tex]
To get the percentage, we multiply by 100,
[tex]0.1782*100=17.82%[/tex]. Answer choice C is correct.
