A medieval manuscript 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.

Which of the following can be reliably concluded on the basis of the Statements given?

A.      Only Euripides’ best-known works are accompanied by ancient commentaries in extant medieval manuscripts.

B.       The select plays are accompanied by ancient commentaries because they were the best known of Euripides’ works.

C.      No commentaries were written about Euripides’ Electra in ancient times.

D.      Euripides’ Medea never appears in medieval manuscripts unaccompanied by ancient commentary.

E.       Euripides’ Electra does not appear accompanied by a commentary in any extant medieval manuscript.

答案是E，还是想不通，觉得哪个选项都不对。有谁帮忙分析一下？

OHHHHH

做了一下，确实很纠结，主要纠结在 E和C的选项上面。请大牛快快指导一下吧！！

画个图包含关系就简单明了了 注意一个单词extant（现存于世的）

overthere33

C 不对

提干信息只能说明Electra在现存的手稿中没有评论了 而不能得出古时候也没人写过

L中一共18部现存的Euripides作品， 其中10部有评论，而且其他手稿中也有出现，（其他8部没有在其他手稿中出现，这里是有点牵强的）因此Electra没有评论 也没出现在其它手稿中
