1.         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.

谁能分析一下，E为什么对

这道题我觉得还得是看文章.原文说"一个叫L的中世纪的手稿里包括了现存的由西腊诗人E写的18部悲剧,其中10个有前人的注释并且它们也出现在中世纪的其它的手稿里面.另外的8部,没有注释且按字母顺序的,Electra是按照字母顺序排列里的一个"

就是说Electra 不属于那10个里的,它是那按字母顺序的8个里的.也就是选项E说的.

我觉得E是对的.

个人理解.

这种题真是难以作对，因为它包含隐含假设。

注意：medieval和ancient的区别！

Medieval的E的手稿包含了所有现存的18个悲剧，其中10个伴有ancient的注释，且在别的medieval的手稿中也出现过。

注意：这里就指正因为ancient就有了，所以在medieval会有很多人的手稿出现它！

换言之，如果ancient有，那就不会出现在其他8部里了。

蓝字是什么意思?有什么?什么出现在其他8部里?请讲解一下,谢谢.

这道题目我感觉还是推不出来啊~~~

Of these, ten called the “select

plays,” are accompanied in L by ancient commentaries and also

appear in other medieval manuscripts;

这句话主要说了2件事:1) ten select plays are accompanied in L by ancient commentaries 2) they also appear in other medieval manuscripts

而文中说Euripidies没有commentaries,并没有排除它没有出现在medieval manuscripts里面的可能性啊

faint, give up this question bah, I think it is wrong anyway, most close answer is D, IMO but D is also flawed.
