extent in the Longman dictionary means"still existing in spite of being very old" so, "extant medieval manuscript" in choice E is not the same as "other medieval manuscripts". Rather, it refers to "all eighteen extent tragedies"~
A medieval manuscript中世纪的手抄本 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. 中世纪的手抄本 called L contains all eighteen extant tragedies by the Greek playwright Euripides.

Which of the following can be reliably concluded on the basis of the Statements given?
同意6楼的，觉得选项E逻辑有漏洞。文章的叙述和逻辑关系很清楚：中世纪手稿一部叫“L”，由两部分组成。一部分是10个专门挑出来的"selective play"，伴有评论且appear in other medieval manuscripts（其中包括Medea）；另一部分有8个，按字母顺序排列，没有评论（其中包括Electra）。ABCD四个选项都很好排除，但E选项“ Euripides’ Electra does not appear accompanied by a commentary in any extant medieval manuscript”的意思是在任何“现存的extant”手稿中都没有评论伴随出现。文章只提到了在“L"当中Electra"没有伴随评论，“L”显然不能等同于“any extant medieval manuscript"。Euripides’ Electra does not appear accompanied by a commentary in any extant medieval manuscript”的意思是在任何“现存的extant”手稿中都没有评论伴随出现。文章只提到了在“L"当中Electra"没有伴随评论，“L”显然不能等同于“any extant medieval manuscript"。
