一道有点看不懂的逻辑题

Which of thefollowing, if true, most logically completes the passage below?
The traditionalview of Hormer is that of a blind bard who wrote down the epic poems known asthe Iliads and the Odyssey in the eighth century B.C.E. Weknow now, however, that this picture cannot be true. The language used in theepic poems contains elements of the Greek language dating from the twelfth tothe eighth century B.C.E., but the Greek writing system was not developed untilthe late seventh century, when it was used to record clerical notes. A moreaccurate statement regarding Hormer, therefore, is that, if he existed, he mostlikely
A.   Wrote thepoems down in the fifth century B.C.E., using a pre-existing oral tradition ofGreek epic poetry.
B.    Was involvedin the recording of clerical notes in Greek in the seventh century
C.    Composedthe poems orally in the eighth century and then dictated them to a scribe inthe late seventh century
D.   Composedthe poems orally in the twelfth century, using a predecessor of the Greeklanguage
E.    Composedthe poems orally in the eighth century, using elements of pre-existing Greekepic poetry


我的答案是C，正确答案是E。现在隐约知道了C为什么错，但是就是不知道E是怎么推出来的

句子填空也就是归纳，归纳直接用无关词排除，马上可以选出E来。

我一开始也选择C了，但是我觉得童鞋，如果你打算来念商科，不妨把题都搞懂，不要用排除法，去理解为什么E正确。因为你到真正念商科的时候是不会给你排除法来看书的。。。
这题有句话“ but the Greek writing system was not developed until the late seventh century, when it was used to record clerical notes. ”
我想greek writing system不可能一到7世纪BC就马上有了的，应该是有pre-writing system吧。
我觉得C错就错在scribe，scribe就是专门写书记录的人，既然Hormer可以等到scribe出现描述给scribe让他写，为什么Homer自己不写呢，无论是用pre-writing system还是后来的greek writing system。因为Homer没有“等到”scribe出现的时候就已经用pre-writing system写出来了。
希望可以帮到你
