The Testament of William Thorpe was published around 1530 as an appendix to Thorpe’s longer Examination. Many scholars, however, doubt the attribution of the Testament to Thorpe because, whereas the Examination is dated 1406, the Testament is dated 1460. One scholar has recently argued that the 1460 date be amended to 1409, based on the observation that when these numbers are expressed as Roman numerals, MCCCCLX and MCCCCIX, it becomes easy to see how the dates might have become confused through scribal error.

Which of the following, if true, would most support the scholar’s hypothesis concerning the date of the Testament?

The sole evidence that historians have had that William Thorpe died no earlier than 1460 was the presumed date of publication of the Testament. In the preface to the 1530 publication, the editor attributes both works to William Thorpe. Few writers in fifteenth-century England marked dates in their works using only Roman numerals. The Testament alludes to a date, “Friday, September 20,” as apparently contemporaneous with the writing of the Testament, and September 20 fell on a Friday in 1409 but not in 1460. The Testament contains few references to historical events that occurred later than 1406.

题干翻译
然而，学者们怀疑《Testament》归属于Thorpe，因为尽管《Examination》日期为1406年，《Testament》日期为1460年。一位学者最近认为，基于当这些数字用罗马数字表示时，MCCCCLX（1460）和MCCCCIX（1409）很容易看出日期可能因抄写错误而混淆这一观察，1460年的日期应修正为1409年。 逻辑链
Testament日期修正(1460到1409) ，因罗马数字易混淆 问题类型
增强题。需要找到能支持学者关于《Testament》日期应是1409年这一假设的选项。 推理过程
学者认为因为罗马数字书写导致日期混淆，所以《Testament》日期应从1460修正为1409，要找能进一步表明1409更合理的证据。 选项分析
A选项：历史学家认为William Thorpe去世不早于1460年的唯一证据是《Testament》的假定出版日期。这与《Testament》实际日期是1409年还是1460年并无直接关联，无法增强，排除。 B选项：在1530年出版物的前言中，编辑将两部作品都归于William Thorpe。这和《Testament》具体创作日期没有关系，无法增强，排除。 C选项：15世纪英国很少有作家仅用罗马数字标注作品日期。这与《Testament》日期是否因罗马数字混淆而应修正为1409年无关，无法增强，排除。 D选项：《Testament》提及“9月20日，星期五”，似乎与写作时间是同时期，而1409年9月20日是星期五，1460年不是。提供了额外证据表明1409年是更合理的写作日期，增强了学者的假设，当选。 E选项：《Testament》很少提及1406年以后发生的历史事件。这只能说明其提及事件的时间范围，但不能有力地证明日期是1409年，无法增强，排除。
