Premise: Several musical treatises from late 1500 named Pescard as the composer
of Lacrimae.
Conclusion: This evidence is not enough to prove that Pescard is the composer of
Lacrimae.
Here we need to solve the conflict between premise and conclusion.
A is the best answer. The treatises misidentified composers. So Pescard could be
misidentified.
B says the treatises identified Pescard as the composer, but not enough evidence
to support its identification. It's not as direct as A.
C. What is not mentioned on the treatises doesn't matter.
D. Even there's no source, newly founded treatises still mentioned Pescard as the
composer. It doesn't solve the conflict between the conclusion and premise.
E. It's talking about treatises from 1600. Out of scope.
