The correct response 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 option highlights how Vera's deep understanding of the setting and the people involved enables her to craft a believable story that deceives Nuttel, who is unaware of the truth and thus falls for her manipulation.
