A medieval manuscript called L contains all eighteen extant tragedies by the Greek playwright Euripides. Of these, ten called the "select plays," are accompanied in L by ancient commentaries and also appear in other medieval manuscripts; this group includes some of Euripides' best-known works, including the Medea. The other eight, which appear only in L, are called the "alphabeticals" because they appear in alphabetical order, without commentary. The Electra is one of the "alphabeticals".
Which of the following can be reliably concluded on the basis of the Statements given?
Only Euripides' best-known works are accompanied by ancient commentaries in extant medieval manuscripts.
The select plays are accompanied by ancient commentaries because they were the best known of Euripides' works.
No commentaries were written about Euripides' Electra in ancient times.
Euripides' Medea never appears in medieval manuscripts unaccompanied by ancient commentary.
Euripides' Electra does not appear accompanied by a commentary in any extant medieval manuscript.
E选项,因为Electra是属于八本中的一本,不具有第一类那十本的特性,所以可以推断出Electra是没有评论也没有出现在other medieval manuscripts中的,进而推断出Electra在任何一本medieval manuscript中都没有评论,即E选项。
C选项的时间范围是in ancient times,E选项的范围是in any extant medieval manuscript,C比E范围大了,所以错误。
