8. A history book written hundreds of years ago

inconsistencies, the author must have been
getting information from more than one source.

discrepancies between sources
(B) the inconsistencies would be apparent to the
average reader of the history book at the present
time

contained inconsistencies repeated in the history
book
(D) the author of the history book was aware of
the kinds of inconsistencies that can arise when
multiple sources are consulted
(E) the author of the history book was familiar
with all of the available source material that
was relevant to the history book .

several inconsistencies -> from several different sources
this line of reasoning can not be established unless the scholars are sure that the author used no source that contained inconsistencies which is then transcribed in the history book
