OG12 第10题

以下是文章中的最后一段：
It would be unrealistic to suggest that illegal
digging would stop if artifacts were sold on the
open market. But the demand for the clandestine
product would be substantially reduced. Who would
want an unmarked pot when another was available
whose provenance was known, and that was dated
stratigraphically by the professional archaeologist
who excavated it?

这是第10题
10. The author implies that all of the following statements
about duplicate artifacts are true EXCEPT
(A) a market for such artifacts already exists
(B) such artifacts seldom have scientific value
(C) there is likely to be a continuing supply of such
artifacts
(D) museums are well supplied with examples of
such artifacts
(E) such artifacts frequently exceed in quality those
already cataloged in museum collections

OG后面的解释A 选项说In the closing sentence of the passage,the author implies that the marker already exists,请问这个是怎么得出的？

楼主看的好细致啊，我刚做了这篇阅读，从我的理解来看，existing market应该是从"who would"推出来的，文中说“如果...谁还会要...”，说明有人要，也就是有这个market的意思。

But the demand for the clandestine
product would be substantially reduced.     DEMAND reduce    了,说明原来是有市场的

想继续问一下，此题的D选项，OG上的解释如下：
D  It can be inferred that if the duplicates cited
in paragraph 4 are typical of the kinds of
artifacts stored in bulging museum basements
(lines 48–49), then museums are well
supplied with such artifacts.

这段解释是什么意思呢，求教！多谢！

拙见： 这类手工器物储存在膨胀的博物馆，意味着它比较多，也就是说博物馆供给充足museum are well supplied with such artifacts.
