题目材料：
The Thorvald epic was transmitted orally until the early 1300s, when it was written down. Three manuscripts of the epic survive from the 1300s. The latest of these manuscripts, made in the mid-1300s, has an episode that is not in the second manuscript, but that occurs in the earliest of the three manuscripts in virtually the same words. Therefore, the third manuscript was probably copied from the first or from a now lost copy of the first.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?
-
A.Whoever produced the second manuscript did not deliberately omit the missing episode.
-
B. The earliest of the surviving manuscripts was not the first manuscript ever made of Thorvald.
-
C.The texts of the first and third surviving manuscripts do not derive from the text of a manuscript, now lost, that predates them both.
-
D.The first manuscript was copied at most once before the third manuscript was made.
-
E.The episode that is missing from the second manuscript was not invented by whoever produced the first manuscript.
