E is best. The rest are too restrictive or require an assumption. We know from the passage that a panholder is likely to get money if she can convince the passerbys she is really destitute and has no other means to get money. Also, we know that the passer-bys will not give money if they think they are being conned. All this points to E, that people who give money to panhandlers do not use how much change they have as a determining factor.
