OG13- CR 120题求助

求助大牛们：OG13 P537 CR No.120

Codex Berinensis, a Florentine copy of an ancient
Roman medical treatise, is undated but contains clues
to when it was produced. Its first 80 pages are by a
single copyist, but the remaining 20 pages are by
three different copyists, which indicates some
significant disruption. Since a letter in handwriting
identified as that of the fourth copyist mentions a
plague that killed many people in Florence in 1148,
Codex Berinensis was probably produced in that year.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports
the hypothesis that Codex Berinensis was produced
in 1148?

(A) Other than Codex Berinensis, there are no
known samples of the handwriting of the first
three copyists.
(B) According to the account by the fourth copyist,
the plague went on for 10 months.
(C) A scribe would be able to copy a page of text
the size and style of Codex Berinensis in a day.
(D) There was only one outbreak of plague in
Florence in the 1100s.
(E) The number of pages of Codex Berinensis
produced by a single scribe becomes smaller
with each successive change of copyist

里面提到Since a letter in handwriting identified as that of the fourth copyiest mentions a plague that killed many people in Florence in 1148. 这句话到底应该怎么理解呢？
“一封被认为属于第四个作者提到了一场瘟疫，它发生于1148年的Florence，并杀死了许多人。”
如果这样理解的话，就算如正确答案所说：1100sFlorence只有一场瘟疫，也不能说明这片著作写于1148年阿，最多只能证明它写于1148年或以后。
就算加上前面的条件：著作由四个人写成，说明写作过程很大程度上被打扰了，也不能说就是因为一场瘟疫啊。

求助！！

CR选的答案，是选五个选项里面最好的一个。
可能你会觉得D并不是perfect的，但是它五个选项里面best的。
文中说，the remaining 20 pages are by three different copyists, which indicates some significant disruption.
文中又说，第四个作者的一封信中提到了一场1148年的瘟疫。
文中结论是，著作也许是在1148年完成的。
问加强结论。
D选项其实是一个排除它因。如果有其他的瘟疫，但是作者并没有在信中写到，那么这本著作也可能是在他没有提到的那场瘟疫中发生的啊。D选项排除了这个可能，1100s只有一场瘟疫，加强了结论。

默默的问句 你明白了么  我也觉得D只能说明著作是有可能在1148年或之后完成的

嗯，我依然这样认为。但是这道题的其他选项比这个选项更差。所以只有选这个

而且文中的结论是probably，并没有说死～就好像数学里大于或等于

确实是，选五个里面最相关的

我觉得这道题干每一个词都传达一中似是而非联系，并不是很绝对，其实在题中就说“虽然没有明确的截稿日期，但有一条线索（clues) ,既然是线索，就尽量扩大1148年是截稿日期的可能

有同样的纠结~~ 但是只能选the best answer了
