The sooner a manuscript collection is catalogued after it arrives, the likelier it is that its provenance was recorded, because the people who handled it are still available to ask. The Bellamy papers arrived in 1954 and were catalogued the following year. The Norwood papers arrived in the same month of 1954 and were not catalogued until 1991, by which time everyone who had handled them was gone. So if provenance was recorded for the Norwood papers,

Which one of the following most logically completes the passage?

Athe provenance recorded for the Bellamy papers must be mistaken, since the reason the passage gives for cataloguing a collection early would then count for nothing

Bit was recorded for every collection catalogued in 1991, since a lapse of time that failed to prevent it for Norwood cannot have prevented it for them

Cthe Norwood papers must have arrived carrying unusually full documentation of their own history

Dthe delay in cataloguing makes no difference to whether provenance is recorded, since a collection that waited thirty-seven years had its provenance recorded all the same

Eit is likely to have been recorded for the Bellamy papers as well, which arrived in the same month and were catalogued the following year
