An orchestra playing a symphony for the first time rehearses it for about eight hours. One that has played it before needs about three. The Ashgrove Orchestra rehearsed the Brahms for eight hours last month, in four sessions across a fortnight, and its conductor says the players know the work well. If the conductor is right, then

Which one of the following most logically completes the passage?

Athe conductor is mistaken about how well the players know the work, since eight hours is what an orchestra needs for a symphony it has never played, and Ashgrove took eight

Beight hours is the usual rehearsal time for a Brahms symphony, whether or not the orchestra playing it has performed the work before

Cthe players cannot have performed the Brahms before, since an orchestra that has played a work needs only about three hours to prepare it

Dthe orchestra will need only three hours when it next plays the work, having now put four sessions and eight hours of rehearsal behind it

Esomething other than unfamiliarity with the work accounts for the eight hours the orchestra spent rehearsing it
