The correct answer is:
Her familiarity allows her to invent an otherworldly explanation for events she can easily predict; Nuttel's unfamiliarity makes him believe this as truth.
This choice highlights how Vera's knowledge of the setting enables her to craft a convincing and deceptive story that Nuttel, being unfamiliar with the context, readily accepts as reality.
