Professor: The authorship of the English epic poem Beowulf will never be recovered. We know the poem through a single surviving text written centuries after the poem was created, but the origins of the epic even whether or not it was largely the work of a single person are lost. Unfortunately, since Beowulf was among the first poems written in Old English, it is highly unlikely that we will find written records identifying someone as the author.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support to the conclusion drawn by the professor?
A. When the surviving text of Beowulf was written down in Christian England, many of its pagan references were deleted.
B. While few poems had been written in Old English prior to Beowulf, certain Old English records of important events were kept.
C. The Beowulf story is based on legends from regions that are in present-day Denmark and Sweden.
D. No written records of literature in any language were kept during that period of English history.
E. Any author draws from multiple sources when writing, and so no artistic creation can be called wholly the artist's.

Unfortunately, since Beowulf was among the first poems written in Old English, it is highly unlikely that we will find written records identifying someone as the author.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support to the conclusion drawn by the professor?
The professor concludes we will never recover who wrote Beowulf. The support is that we only have one surviving text written much later, and because Beowulf was among the first Old English poems, it is very unlikely there are written records naming an author. The best supporting option would strengthen the idea that written records that could identify an author did not exist or were not kept.
A. When the surviving text of Beowulf was written down in Christian England, many of its pagan references were deleted.
This is about editing of content, not whether records existed naming an author. It does not strengthen the conclusion.
B. While few poems had been written in Old English prior to Beowulf, certain Old English records of important events were kept.
This suggests record keeping existed, which could actually weaken the claim that written records naming an author are highly unlikely. Not support.
C. The Beowulf story is based on legends from regions that are in present-day Denmark and Sweden.
The story’s origin region does not tell us whether English records named the author. Not support.
D. No written records of literature in any language were kept during that period of English history.
This directly supports the professor’s key premise: if no literary records were kept at all, then records identifying an author would be extremely unlikely. This is the strongest support.
E. Any author draws from multiple sources when writing, and so no artistic creation can be called wholly the artist's.
This is a general claim about creativity and does not show we cannot identify an author. Not support.
