请教 LSAT-2-4-1

A major art theft from a museum was remarkable in that the pieces stolen clearly had been carefully selected. The criterion for selection, however, clearly had not been greatest estimated market value. It follows that the theft was specifically carried out to suit the taste of some individual collector for whose private collection the pieces were destined.

The argument tacitly appeals to which one of the following principles?
(A) Any art theft can, on the evidence of the selection of pieces stolen, be categorized as committed either at the direction of a single known individual or at the direction of a group of known individuals.
(B) Any art theft committed at the direction of a single individual results in a pattern of works taken and works left alone that defies rational analysis.
(C) The pattern of works taken and works left alone can sometimes distinguish one type of art theft from another.
(D) Art thefts committed with no preexisting plan for the disposition of the stolen works do not always involve theft of the most valuable pieces only.
(E) The pattern of works taken and works left alone in an art theft can be particularly damaging to the integrity of the remaining collection.


偶选D，答案为C。想是偶将appeal to的意思弄错了？请指教。

可否把你选D 的理由简述一下？

CasualWalk

在下以为：D是说thief偷东西是可能根本没有买主，所以偷地比较diversify. 而原
句说判断thief是为某个固定买主的品味而偷。这两者矛盾。偶以为appeal to在这
里有反对的意思，所以选D。请指教。

cranberry

you may find the answer,----appeal to means "诉诸"

CasualWalk

對不起﹐你是說D對嗎﹖請明示。謝謝﹗

结论：the theft was specifically carried out to suit the taste of some individual collector for whose private collection the pieces were destined.即：贼是冲着某一主题来的。
做出这一结论的唯一解释(原则、原因)是：人们可以用被偷的东西来判断贼的目的。

D直接猜测贼的情形，离题太far away。

我开始也想选A，是不是known这个词用错了？
