Amedieval manuscript called L contains all eighteen extant tragedies by theGreek playwright Euripides. Of these, ten called the “select plays,” areaccompanied in L by ancient commentaries and also appear in other medievalmanuscripts; this group includes some of Euripides’ best-known works, includingthe Medea. The other eight, which appear in alphabetical order, withoutcommentary. The Electra is one of the alphabeticals.

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

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

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

C.      No commentaries were written aboutEuripides’ Electra in ancient times.

D.      Euripides’ Medea neverappears in medieval manuscripts unaccompanied by ancient commentary.

E.       Euripides’ Electra does notappear accompanied by a commentary in any extant medieval manuscript.

Key E。明白abcd为啥错误，可是不明e为啥可以得出呢？！根据题干意思，可以得出Eletra存在于手本L里面，并且Electra在L里面是没有commentary的，可是题目没交待L是目前仅存的手本啊，extant不是“现存的”么？没有仅存的意思啊。我是说还是有可能Electra也被收录在除L之外其它现存手本并且有commentary的。我理解的正确么？

This is more a RC question then a logic question. If you look at the structure of the argument:
Of these, ten called the “select plays,” are accompanied in L by ancient commentaries and also appear in other medieval manuscripts; . . . The other eight, . . .

It implies that the other eight does NOT accompanied in L by ancient commentaries and does NOT appear in other medieal manuscript.
