The overall argument can be broken down into 4 parts:
1. The perceptions of the scholars - that Wittgenstein (W) and Russel (R) developed their concepts on metaphysics of the language independently.
2. Many now argue - that since R's note were based on W's given R refers to W's note in his notes and that W's notes precede R's own conception, the traditional view held by scholars is wrong
3. Professor's (Author) take - This discovery based on which many have made their argument in pt 2 requires a more circumspect conclusion.
To support his point, the professor points out that - R's note refer to only some early part of W's note and that the early parts come before the main investigation into metaphysics of the language by W.
The two boldface:
i. "the notes...language" - This acts like an evidence or a support to the conclusion made by many in pt 2 above.
ii. the last sentence "Russel's notes... metaphysics of the language" - This is the premise that support's professor's conclusion that we fleshed out in pt 3 above.
Evaluation of the options:
A - The first is an evidence that supports the conclusion supported by the professor - incorrect. It is supporting the conclusion which the professor opposes.
B - Incorrect because of the same reason in A
C - Clearly fits into the analysis - The first boldface supports a conclusion which has been criticized by the professor, the second boldface acts as an evidence/support for the Professor's own conclusion. Correct
D - The first statement is used as a supporting for a conclusion but it is not a conclusion which acts an intermediate conclusion that support's professor's conclusion. Incorrect.
E - The first part is correct. However, the second boldface is not "Additional information" that supports the evidence presented in the first boldface. Incorrect.

The first boldface is talking about the evidence that the historians found. They found Russell's notes on Wittgenstein's book. Based on this they think Russell must have gotten his ideas from Wittgenstein so the traditional view is wrong. But the says that just finding the notes isn't enough. t the notes only cover the beginning of the book. Wittgenstein doesn't start discussing the metaphysics of language until later. So Russell may never have read the part that contained those ideas. That means the first boldface is evidence used by the historians for a conclusion the professor disagrees with.The second boldface is the professor's own evidence. He uses it to show why the historians conclusion is too strong.
First boldface = evidence for the conclusion the professor criticizes.
Second boldface = evidence supporting the professor's own argument.
Answer: C.
First boldface = evidence for the conclusion the professor criticizes.
Second boldface = evidence supporting the professor's own argument.
Answer: C.

Professor:
Topic: Metaphysics of language
Traditional opinion: Wittgenstein and Russell developed closely analogous concepts on this topic independently of each other.
Contrarian view: Historian uncovered Russell's notes examining Wittgenstein book containing a Wittgenstein presentation on the topic
First boldface: the notes precede Russell's own conception of the topic
Conclusion: Many now argue that based on first boldface that the traditional opinion is obviously false
Author's position (opposing conclusion above): However, this discovery warrants a more circumspect conclusion.
Second boldface: Russell's notes are restricted to early parts of Wittgenstein's text, parts that come before the ones in which Wittgenstein launches into his investigation of the topic.
Roles of boldfaces:
A. The first provide evidence for historians' argument and a conclusion that traditional opinion is obviously false which is criticized by the author (professsor) stating this discovery warrants a more circumspect conclusion.
Incorrect
B. The first provide evidence for historian's argument and a conclusion that traditional opinion is obviously false which is criticized later by the author (professor) stating this discovery warrants a more circumspect conclusion.
Incorrect
C. The first is evidence used in support of a conclusion that traditional opinion is obviously false which is criticized by the professor stating that this discovery warrants a more circumspect conclusion. The second boldface states that Russell's note included parts of Wittgenstein's text, part that came before the ones in which Wittgenstein launches his own investigations on the topic which supports professor's own position that this discovery warrants a more circumspect conclusion.
Correct
D. The intermediate conclusion that traditional opinion that two philosophers developed their concepts independently is obviously false does not support professor's position but is later criticized by him.
Incorrect
E. The second is not further information that corroborates the evidence provided in the first but rather challenges it by providing information against the first.
Incorrect
IMO C
