Medea vs Electra

Expert replies
by maihuna » Sat Dec 12, 2009 11:58 am
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:B/E

I would go for E. IMO B is not correct because it says that "select plays are accompanied by ancient commentaries because they were the best known of Euriphides' works". Is it that they are accompanied because they are well-known works? Not at all. IMO there is no causal relationship between the two.
"Select plays" have 3 characteristics, first is they are accompanied by ancient commentaries, Second is they appear in medieval manuscripts and the third is they include some of Euriphides' best works. These three are independent characteristics and no way there is causal relationship among them.

D. Euripides’ Medea never appears in medieval manuscripts

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

A,D, E are not correct as it refers to other manuscripts which are not mentioned

C is wrong coz it says about other commentaries as well. Only thing mentioned in the passage is that commentaries
are there for the selected works

So IMO B

Answer:B/E
IMO E. B has strong words. The select plays are accompanied by ancient commentaries
because they were the best known of Euripides' works. But the argument says "this group includes some of
Euripides' best-known works
"
