Q18
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 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?
A. Only Euripides’ best-known works are accompanied by ancient
commentaries in extant medieval manuscripts.
B. The select plays are accompanied by ancient commentaries
because they were the best known of Euripides’ works.
C. No commentaries were written about Euripides’ Electra in
ancient times.
D. Euripides’ Medea never appears in medieval manuscripts
unaccompanied by ancient commentary.
E. Euripides’ Electra does not appear accompanied by a com-
mentary in any extant medieval manuscript.
I think all answers are wrong, help me out!
E吧
Electra本身没有评论，自然其它的书里也不会有。

注意限定词
A medieval manuscript called L contains all eighteen extant tragedies by the Greek playwright Euripides
L包含了所有的希腊剧作家Euripides写的。【all】
E. Euripides’ Electra does not appear accompanied by a commentary in any extant medieval manuscript
E写的Electra 不会有任何的古代评论。
文章里有支持The other eight, which appear in alphabetical order, without commentary. The Electra is one of the alphabeticals.
但是E只是说any other啊~~而文中只说它在L里面没有评论啊~~
I also think all the answers are wrong.
appear in other medieval manuscripts;
From the above statement, I will only have to pick E even though it is not perfect.
结论题，
背景信息说，L里有评论的十个select plays,在其它的书里都有
然后告诉我们说，E是L里没有评论的8个palys之一
问能得出什么结论
我们只能说E在其它地方也没有评论。结论题是单向的思维，抓住信息点，不需要去反驳它
问得是Which of the following can be reliably concluded on the basis of the
Statements given? 不是support the conclusion!
我还是坚持无答案的看法。
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.
这题感觉上是骗人题。 ”and also appear in other medieval manuscripts” 好像有其他的八篇在other medieval manuscripts 没有的意思。 既然没有当然也不可能有ｃｏｍｍｅｎｔａｒｙ了。 好像ｃｏｍｍｅｎｔａｒｙ在Ｅ中是来干扰你让你答不出来似的。
这样说可以吗？
呵呵 不要笑 仔细读读 好像真的有这个意思

i chose D
| 十本（Medea） | 八本（Electra） |
被挑中的悲剧有无ancient commentaries | 有 | 无 |
Appear in other… | 有 | 不知 |
Alphabetical order | 不知 | 有 |
如图所示，大致可以了解清楚两类悲剧的特点。
D选项实际上就是说只要Medea在别的medieval manuscripts的上就一定是伴随着commentaries
E选项是说只要Electra出现在mm上就没有c。
再看题目中的这句ten called the “select plays,” are accompanied in L by ancient commentaries and also appear in other medieval manuscripts
可以看出伴随C和出现在别的MM上是这十部的两个并列特征，而不存在任何包含关系，也就是说，这十部如果出现在别的MM上的话不一定就伴随着C。这样理解后就只能选E了。up!
我觉得liubin1987分析的非常清楚，可是。。。不也同时说明选项C No commentaries were written about Euripides’ Electra in
ancient times. 也是正确的吗？盼指教~~~~
我想c 和 E 差異在於時間點，ancient times 和 medieval ，之前好像有人說過，搜尋一下吧。E 把時間範圍縮的更小，所以較好。我一開始也是選C，想想還是E比較好。
ok, finally got it. How about this:
So E if we understand “The other eight, which appear in alphabetical order, without commentary” means “The Electra has no commentary at all” rather than “In L, the Electra has no commentary.”. I know it is kind of weird but if we dont understand it this way, there is no answer for this question.
支持楼上的！
