Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

The attribution of the choral work Lacrimae to the composer Pescard (1400–1474) has been regarded as tentative, since it was based on a single treatise from the early 1500s that named Pescard as the composer. Recently, several musical treatises from the late 1500s have come to light, all of which name Pescard as the composer of Lacrimae. Unfortunately, these newly discovered treatises lend no support to the attribution of Lacrimae to Pescard, since _______.


the treatise from the early 1500s misidentifies the composers of some of the musical works it considers

the author of the treatise from the early 1500s had no very strong evidence on which to base the identification of Pescard as the composer of Lacrimae

there are works that can conclusively be attributed to Pescard that are not even mentioned in the treatise from the early 1500s

the later treatises probably had no source for their attribution other than the earlier treatise

no known treatises from the 1600s identify Pescard as the composer of Lacrimae

考题讲解

情景：Pescard是Lacrimae的作者这一说法只是一个假设，因为它仅仅基于15世纪早期的一篇论文。最近，几篇15世纪后期的论文也认为：Pescard是Lacrimae的作者。但不幸的是，新发现的论文并不能对Pescard是Lacrimae的作者这一论点提供支持。

推理：本题属于A, however非B型，判断推理方式时必须先转换成正常的推理文段，即，结论应该为：新发现的论文对Pescard是Lacrimae的作者这一论点提供支持。前提中给出了认为Pescard是Lacrimae的作者几篇论文，结论中依然讲的是Pescard是Lacrimae的作者，并且前提只是一些样本，所以本题为枚举推理。

前提：有几篇新的论文认为Pescard是Lacrimae的作者
结论：Pescard是Lacrimae的作者

答案选项中一定要提及样本。

选项分析：

A选项：15世纪早期的论文错误的认证过某些音乐的作者。本选项没有提及样本（样本是这几篇新的论文，本选项讲的是总体15世纪的论文情况）

B选项：15世纪早期论文的作者没有很强的证据证明Pescard是Lacrimae的作者。本选项没有提及样本（样本是15世纪晚期的论文）。

C选项：有一些可以被归类给Pescard的在15世纪早期的论文中没有提到过的作品。本选项没有提及样本。

D选项：Correct. 除了早期的论文外，后期的论文没有其它的资源。本选项指出了样本其实并没有代表性，因为所有的这些样本都是来自于一篇论文之手。属于CQ1：样本代表性问题。

E选项：没有一个16世纪的论文说Pescard是Lacrimae的作者。本选项给出了一些其他的样本，也可以削弱推理文段，但是强度不如(D)（就算16世纪没有，并不代表别的论文也没有提及这件事）。
