问题     The border decoration in medieval manuscripts referred to as pen flourishing reached great artistic heights in the northern Netherlands in the 1400s. The regional variants in form that evolved make flourishing a useful tool for localizing and roughly dating manuscripts. When the first printed books appeared in that region, many copies were still traditionally decorated by hand with such flourishing. Since books’ publication can usually be dated with far more accuracy than manuscripts, studying these decorations in early printed books might lead to a more precise dating of the penwork in manuscripts. It is of less help in localizing the flourishing. Upon completion, copies of printed books were often sold unadorned, to be decorated elsewhere as commissioned by their buyers.
Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence?
选项 A、It points out a difficulty involved in studying pen flourishing
B、It restates an assertion about the first printed books
C、It corrects a misconception regarding the decoration of manuscripts
D、It provides support for a claim about the dating of printed books
E、It summarized an argument about how to interpret certain type of penwock.
答案A
解析 这句话是对前一句的具体展开，详细说明了为什么笔饰在用于确定完成地点方面没有那么精确，因此选项A正确，a difficulty指的是确定地点没那么精确。
