Suggested Answer: E 🗳️
The question asks about the number of cubes that Willy received on yesterday's show, which is dependent on his performance.
Statement (1) tells us that Willy did the same show but it didn't mention how did he perform, did he do the same number of exquisite acts? This statement is insufficient.
Statement (2) only completes statement (1) by telling us how many cubes of sugar he received.
More sufficient data is required.
