OG11版的一道逻辑题怎么也搞不懂，请牛人赐教！

Codex Berinensis, a Florentine copy of an ancient Roman medical treatise, is undated but contains clues to when it was produced. Its first 80 pages are by a single copyist, but the remaining 20 pages are by ghree different copyists, which indicates some significant disruption. Since a letter in handwriting identified as that of the fourth copyist mentions a plague that killed many people in Florence in 1148, Codex Berinensis was probably produced in that year.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis that Codex Berinensis was produced in 1148?

A. Other than Codex Berinensis, there are no known samples of the handwriting of the first three 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 text the size and style of Codex Berinensis in a day.

D. There was only one outbreak of plague in Florence in the 1100's.

E. The number of pages of Codex Berinensis produced by a single scribe becomes smaller with each successive change of copyist.

Correct: D.

OG给出的解释是：It there were multiple plagues, C.B. “could habve been produced at another time. If instead only one plague occurred in the 1100's, the elimination of that possibility supports the hypothesis that the work was done in 1148.”但总觉的此解释起不到任何加强的作用…… 就算有多次plague 发生，记录的还是1148年的一次啊，不知道这道提题应该怎么理解？

如果有10次的话时间早于1148年但是晚于1100年的话，是否就无法判断了呢？

题目：因为第四个人在书中说到１１４８年发生了一场瘟疫

　　　结论：推测就是那年出的书．

Ｄ．１１世纪就发生了一场瘟疫．

发生瘟疫在前，记录在后，书自然在１１４８年或以后的时间出的．

其他选项都难与瘟疫时间相联系．

选Ｄ

CShadow

我是这样理解的（比较极端的想法）。

这本书有4个作者，其中前3个接连在plague中去世了，所以才会需要4个作者。但是具体是哪场plague中死的，不知道。

所以如果确定了瘟疫的时间，也就确定了写书的时间。如果12世纪只有一场瘟疫，那么写书的时间就能确定了。

所以选D。事实型加强。

一个100页的书由四个人短短续续地誊抄完，说明很有可能有重大事件出现导致誊抄的人员经常会发生大的变故。瘟疫是导致重大变故的可能原因之一。再结合Codex Berinensis是一个古药方的复制本，誊抄药方的最可能原因是疾病的产生。可以猜测4个人完成药方的原因是瘟疫导致前三人无法继续。那么可以认为誊抄药方产生于某次瘟疫的可能性非常大。

由于D里说1100s只有1148年有一场plague,所以D可以支持药方产生于1148年的假设。

嗯，现在明白了，谢谢NN们！！

我的看法是，此copy的抄寫可能發生在1148當時或是之前（不能確定），
因為瘟疫的紀錄是由第四位copyist所抄寫，
前面陸陸續續還有三位copyist但因某種因素（推論為疾病）而不能繼續，
但是答案 1100s前後 只有一次瘟疫發生，所以證明前面幾位應該也是在差不多時間完成抄寫。

ps有一個反駁是如果前面幾位copist因為其他因素（疾病）而不能繼續抄寫
    那此論點（全書為1148 時 produced）還是不成立＝ ＝
