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.
题目说的,L(中世纪手稿中)没关于E的古代评论,进一步放大范围是中世纪手稿中没有关于E的古代评论。
D M在L(中世纪手稿中)有关于古代评论,推不出M在中世纪手稿中没有评论。
E E在L(中世纪手稿中)没有评论,可能推出E在所有中世纪手中稿没有评论。
谢谢
这C选项也太坑了,是针对E没有流传下来的评论,并不能说以前没有过评论,有可能在ancient time有过但是没流传下来登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
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。
题干里少了一句话,是说后面的八部是唯一一次在manuscripts里出现,也就是说除了L这本书,其他的书都没有E这个剧。所以其他manuscripts中E都没有跟commentary一起出现过。

the other eight(包括Electra):按字母顺序排列,无伴随评论。
我想应该是因为题干中的extant(现存的)。有可能Electra在中世纪其实是有评论的,只不过未能保存至今。
