Library preservationist: Due to the continual physical deterioration of the medieval manuscripts in our library's collection, we have decided to restore most of our medieval manuscripts that are of widely acknowledged cultural significance, though this means that some medieval manuscripts whose authenticity is suspect will be restored. However, only manuscripts whose safety can be ensured during the restoration process will be restored, and manuscripts that are not frequently consulted by researchers will not be restored.
If all of the library preservationist's statements are true, which one of the following must be true of the medieval manuscripts in the library's collection?
(A) Some of the medieval manuscripts whose authenticity is suspect are frequently consulted by researchers
(B) All of the medieval manuscripts widely acknowledged to be of cultural significance are manuscripts whose safety can be ensured during the restoration process.
(C) All of the medieval manuscripts whose safety can be ensured during the restoration process are frequently consulted by researchers
(D) The medieval manuscripts most susceptible to deterioration are those most frequently consulted by researchers
(E) None of the medieval manuscripts that are rarely consulted by researchers is widely acknowledged to be of cultural significance

Let me try to analyse this question.
(A) Some of the medieval manuscripts whose authenticity is suspect are frequently consulted by researchers -> Correct. Because some medieval manuscripts whose authenticity is suspect will be restored and the manuscripts frequently consulted by researchers will be restored.
(B) All of the medieval manuscripts widely acknowledged to be of cultural significance are manuscripts whose safety can be ensured during the restoration process. -> Wrong. They did not restore all medieval manuscripts (MM) widely acknowledged to be of cultural significance. Rather, all the those to be restored are those of significance.
(C) All of the medieval manuscripts whose safety can be ensured during the restoration process are frequently consulted by researchers
-> Wrong. We can only conclude that all restored manuscripts are those ensured safety during the restoration process.
(D) The medieval manuscripts most susceptible to deterioration are those most frequently consulted by researchers -> Wrong. The argument says due to deterioration, they decided to restore most of significance medieval manuscripts, not most susceptible deterioration.
(E) None of the medieval manuscripts that are rarely consulted by researchers is widely acknowledged to be of cultural significance -> Wong. As the argument says most of MM with cultural significance are restored, Not ALL. Thus, there is still a chance that a MM with significance also rarely consulted.
For me, another indicator is that B,C,D and E contain extreme words (All, None) so it's safer to go with A.
Please correct me if something is not justifiable so that I have chance to improve my Verbal skill. Thanks!!!

I was all over the place in this one and answered D. However, post answering i analysed and realised my mistakes(must be true are my nemesis
). Here's my observations.
MM that hold cultural significance are going get restored, not all but most of them. During this process some MMs with suspected authenticity issues may get restored. BUT it is sure that only if safety is ensured during the restoration process, manuscripts would be restored. Those manuscript that are not frequently consulted would not be restored.
The structure of the passage is as follows:
1. What is already true is that MMs hold cultural significance.
2. What is going to happen is restoration of MMs.
3. How it is going to get decided is what we need to figure out.
For the 3rd point, three parameters are there - authenticity(A), safety(S) and frequent consultation(C). I don't know but venn diagram, wherein the three parameters are the circles, helps in eliminating 2-3 options. I leave the diagram for people to make by themselves to understand better.
Among the 5 choices B can be eliminated easily - too loose a statement. Similarly, C can be eliminated as there are those that are not frequently consulted and not authentic, and those that are not frequently consulted and authentic as well. E is somewhat opposite as far as logic is concerned, but more importantly this choice deals with 'rarely consulted MMs that are not widely acknowledged to be of cultural significance'. This pushes to make another venn diagram with parameters not frequently consulted(C'), unauthentic(A') and non safe(S') - may be confusing a bit. D may be true but not must be true - it is in general we may assume that it might be the case and thus must be true, eventually making it a trap answer.
Only A is left and it is the right answer. Reason being if some MMs are unauthentic then some might definitely be frequently consulted. Since each parameter has an counter part there exists 8 possibilities(2*2*2) among which finding a must be true becomes a little easier.
Answer A.
