再问大全-16-15，是否ETS也不够严密？

15. In the course of her researches, a historian recently found two documents mentioning the same person, Erich Schnitzler. One, dated May 3, 1739, is a record of Schnitzler's arrest for peddling without a license. The second, undated, is a statement by Schnitzler asserting that he has been peddling off and on for 20 years.

The facts above best support which of the following conclusions?
(A)Schnitzler started peddling around 1719.
(B)Schnitzler was arrested repeatedly for peddling.
(C)The undated document was written before 1765.
(D)THe arrest record was written after the undated document.
(E)The arrest record provides better evidence that Schnitzler peddled that does the undated document.

看过了Mindfree教头的解释（http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=24&ID=30401），但还是confusing：
要使选项C成立，似乎缺少了一个assumption：
The undated document was written during the period of Schnitzler peddled.

So how about the document was written after the guy washed his hands off peddling?

是我太钻牛角尖，还是...?
有请各位赐教。

该题问题问的是best support 。即获得原文最多支持的便是答案。从这个角度去理解，你很容易看出C从原文得到最多支持。不要理解为从原文MUST BE推出选项。
