GWD-26-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.

答案为E，比较起来只有这个可以选，但我有一个疑问，就是e答案中的any extant medieval manuscript， 如果果没有这个any 我就可以理解了，因为题目中并没有暗示在任何  medieval manuscript中， Electra 都没有给与评论啊。

请大家帮忙，谢谢！
