[bonus]

Q18:
A medieval manuscript called L contains all eighteen extant tragedies by the Greek playwright Euripides. Of these, ten called the 「select plays,」 are accompanied in L by ancient commentaries and also appear in other medieval manuscripts; this group includes some of Euripides' best-known works, including the Medea. The other eight, which appear in alphabetical order, without commentary. The Electra is one of the alphabeticals.

Which of the following can be reliably concluded on the basis of the statements given?

A. Only Euripides' best-known works are accompanied by ancient commentaries in extant medieval manuscripts.
B. The select plays are accompanied by ancient commentaries because they were the best known of Euripides' works.
C. No commentaries were written about Euripides' Electra in ancient times.
D. Euripides' Medea never appears in medieval manuscripts unaccompanied by ancient commentary.
E. Euripides' Electra does not appear accompanied by a commentary in any extant medieval manuscript.

Answer: E

中世紀的一本破書L裡面有18個悲劇，10個有古代的評注，且這10部在其他中世紀的破書裡也有，這10部有一些是Euripides這個人寫的。Medea是10分之一
另外8部按字母排的，沒有評注，Electra是8分之一

也就是說Electra不屬於那10個裡的，它是那按字母順序的8個裡的

E. 有古人評注，所以不會有中世紀人的評注

[PureRay]

這題我的想法是

手抄本L中有所有現存的18篇E寫的作品

其中

10 select play的特色是有附評論，還有出現在其他抄本中→表示剩下的8篇僅見於手抄本L

既然8篇只有在L出現過，所以這8篇在現存的任何手抄本裡面都沒有附評論

[A級垂耳兔]

這題是個有瑕疵的爛題目....我想答案應該是全錯....

E. 有古人評注，所以不會有中世紀人的評注

從哪裡知道"有古人評注"...我只知道Electra在L手稿裡沒有評注...

10 select play的特色是有附評論，還有出現在其他抄本中→表示剩下的8篇僅見於手抄本L

既然8篇只有在L出現過，所以這8篇在現存的任何手抄本裡面都沒有附評論

我從文章看不出有說10 select play有"特色"..所以無法推論剩下8篇僅見於手抄本L....也無法進一步推論"既然8篇只有在L出現過，所以這8篇在現存的任何手抄本裡面都沒有附評論"

因為Electra仍有可能出現在其他的中古世紀手稿裡且附評論...
若要硬凹的話也只能說"Electra仍有可能出現在其他的中古世紀手稿裡且附評論"
文章沒說...不可以推論...所以被迫選E

[keane0727]

樓上的，好像選E選的很勉強
選B你說如何呢？
10本是被標為"select play", 有注解, 別的手稿也有收入, 有幾本是Euripides最知名的作品
8本號稱什麼的也不知道, 沒有注解, 乖乖地照A, B, C, D…排排站就是了
從這種跡像看來L手稿的作著像是將E的作品依知名度分類，有名的精選集收入注解，沒有名氣的不收入注解。

雖然需要大膽推論，不過其它選項都有明顯的faulty anology的問題，也就是說其它選項都勿將L手稿的特色看成all other acient manuscript的特色

OG有一題要深思renaissance的意思才能做對；GWD有一題要看清ban跟restriction的差異才能作題；我覺得這題有點類似，如果不將注意力放在"select"這個字上很難想像B是正確答案

[pimi]

A. Only Euripides' best-known works are accompanied by ancient commentaries in extant medieval manuscripts.

Only武斷, 而且題目沒說在extant medieval manuscripts中只有Euripides最知名的作品會有ancient commentaries
B. The select plays are accompanied by ancient commentaries because they were the best known of Euripides' works.

select pays會有ancient commemtaries是因為他們是Euripides最知名的作品, 這樣的因果關係, 題目也沒說, 過度推理
C. No commentaries were written about Euripides' Electra in ancient times.

題目只說Electra是one of the alphabeticals, 在L中, 其他8篇是以alphabetical order的形式出現的, 沒有commentary, 但是無法因此推論, 在ancient times時, 沒有人有替Euripides' Electra寫commentary
D. Euripides' Medea never appears in medieval manuscripts unaccompanied by ancient commentary.

除了never武斷, 這個選項也是過度推論～

E. Euripides' Electra does not appear accompanied by a commentary in any extant medieval manuscript.

any武斷, L包含18篇Euripides的作品, 不代表在其他現存的medieval manuscript裡沒有包含Euripides的作品, 我覺得如果E可以多加個"在L中", 把範圍縮小, 然後把in any extant medieval manuscript刪掉, 才會正確, 不然這5個選項真的選不出答案耶　

[dibert8]

這題純閱讀:
L 現存有 18 部悲劇; 10 部有 commentaries, 其中有些 best-known, 包含 M; 8 部沒有 commentaries, 包含 E

(A) 不是只有 best-known 才有 commentaries (那 10 部都有)
(B) 題目沒有提為何有 commentaries
(C) 題目沒有提 commentaries 的內容
(D) 題目沒有說 M 在 medieval manuscripts 一直以來有沒有 commentary (可能一開始沒有,後來才有)
(E) 最後兩句話 (any 似嫌武斷,以題目範圍來看,可能是 L)

[lucyyeh]

這一題我看了好久阿，我覺得如果E可選，那D也可選了，真奇怪。
我的解讀如下(為方便閱讀，我題目重貼一次。)

GWD26-Q18
A medieval manuscript called L contains all eighteen extant tragedies
by the Greek playwright Euripides. Of these, ten called the “select
plays,” are accompanied in L by ancient commentaries and also
appear in other medieval manuscripts; this group includes some of
Euripides’ best-known works, including the Medea. The other eight,
which appear in alphabetical order, without commentary. The Electra is
one of the alphabeticals.

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

A. Only Euripides’ best-known works are accompanied by ancient
commentaries in extant medieval manuscripts.
(這沒有爭議，我的想法跟樓上一樣--> 不是只有 best-known 才有 commentaries (那 10 部都有))

B. The select plays are accompanied by ancient commentaries because they were the best known of Euripides’ works.
(這也沒有爭議，題目沒有說"為何"會有commentaries)

C. No commentaries were written about Euripides’ Electra in ancient times.
(此選項無法由題目已經的條件證明出來)

D. Euripides’ Medea never appears in medieval manuscripts
unaccompanied by ancient commentary.
(我們不知道跟Medea同類的作品also appear in other medieval manuscripts的狀況如何。)

E. Euripides’ Electra does not appear accompanied by a commentary in any extant medieval manuscript.
(如果D像我這樣推論的話，我們也不會知道在"any" extant medieval manuscript的狀況; 我還有另一個想法，題目第一行說到的all eighteen extant tragedies by the Greek playwright Euripides. 是不是就指選項中的extant medieval manuscript??? ...感覺怪怪的....)

[chris8888]

L這本書 -- 10(extant tragedies) called "SP" -- 有評論 , 也出現在其他中世紀手稿中
-- 這當中包含E先生的最知名的作品 -- 其中包含Medea這項悲劇故事
-- 08(extant tradedies) -- 按照字母排列, Electra 是當中一個悲劇故事
A. 只有E先生最知名的作品由古人下評論在當代的中世紀手稿中, 明顯錯,
B. SP是由古人下評論, 因為它們都是最知名的E先生的作品, 錯
C. 關於E先生的Electra悲劇作品在古時候, 沒有評論出現, 只能說這本書L裡面沒有, 但不知道其他人有沒有去 下評論, 錯
D. E先生的作品Medea悲劇, 從未出現在中世紀的手稿中且由古人下評論, 從以上架構10個悲劇都是有古人的評論的, 錯
E. 因沒有選擇了, 只好選E, 但本人也承認不是頂好的答案
