121.Codex Berinensis, a Florentine copy of an ancientRoman medical treatise,.is undatedbut contains cluesto when it was produced. Its first 80 pages are by asingle copyist, but the remaining 20 pages are bythree different copyists, which indicates somesignificant disruption. Since a letter in handwritingidentified as that of the fourth copyist mentions aplague that killed many people in Florence in 1148,Codex Berinensis was probably produced in that year.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supportsthe hypothesis that Codex Berinensis was producedin 1148?

(A)Other than Codex Berinensis, there are noknown samples of the handwriting of the firstthree copyists.

(B)According to the account by the fourth copyist,the plague went on for 10 months.

(C)A scribe would be able to copy a page of textthe size and style of Codex Berinensis in a day.

(D)There was only one outbreak of plague inFlorence in the 1100s.

(E)The number of pages of Codex Berinensisproduced by a single scribe becomessmallerwith each successive change of copyist.

请大家帮忙解释一下答案D和原文的关系，我看了OG的解释，可是不觉得这个Codex作品和1148年以及只有一场疫病之间有关系。。。
谢谢各位啦~

文中的逻辑是认为因为1148年有过疫病，所以Codex Berinensis was probably produced in that year。但是如果1100s有不只一次疫病，文中的信息就不足以证明Codex Berinensis was probably produced于1148年还是别的年份。因此削弱。另外，这个题虽然是support类题，但是其他选项都无关。所以虽然D的support力度不是很大，但是它还是有支持作用的。

就算只有一次，那我这个treatise也可以是1149年写成的啊，非得当年写嘛？这题纠结老半天了。。。

我果断的觉得是我自己想多了，每次做逻辑都这样~

可是我就是不理解1148年的疫病和作品的生成有什么关系，就算多爆发几次疫病，结论就削弱了吗？

如果D取非的话，就是说1100s有不止一次疫病暴发，那么原文中的假设（关于1148年的）就会被削弱，因为有可能是在其他年份完成的。

哎，灌水~
