Bellfounder: A bell rings true only if its inner profile was turned to the tuning figures before the metal was poured, and everyone agrees that the tenor cast at the Ashwell foundry in a year its books cover rings true. Nowhere in the books is there an entry of a profile turned for a bell of the tenor's weight. So the books are not a complete record of the work done there.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the bellfounder's argument depends?

AThe books that have come down from the Ashwell foundry run from its first year of work to its last, no stretch of the record having been lost or mislaid or kept apart from the rest.

BFounders elsewhere in the county entered a turned profile under the weight of the bell it had been turned for, and did so as a matter of course.

CA profile turned at the foundry would not have been entered in the books otherwise than by the weight of the bell it was turned for.

DThe surviving books are the only record of what was done at the foundry, no other account of the tenor's founding having come down to us.

EThe tuning figures the Ashwell foundry worked to were the same ones founders elsewhere in the country were using.
