就是手稿中有10个是能在别的书里能查到，其中有M，8个在别的书里没有记载，其中有E

答案是E吧？

是E

AB 很容易排除
就是CDE感觉很别扭，
C 说的就是 ELectra在评论中查不到，就是最后那句的：the other eight,which apper in al ordermwithout commentary, THe Electra is one of the Alph那句话出来的？

D说的是Medea从来不会出现在查不到评论的手稿中，也就是说Medea只能在有commentary 的手稿中有的。

有些困惑啊~~

This is a must-be-true type of question.

C is wrong because of NO.  Too restrictive.

D is wrong because of NEVER.  Too restrictive.

E is right because 1) L contains ALL eighteen extant tragedies by the Greek playwright Euripides;  2) Among the 18 extant tragedies, ten called the “select plays” were areaccompanied in L by ancient commentaries; 3) The other eight, which appear in alphabetical order and include Electra, were in L without commentary.
