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.
According to the passage, pen flourishing in manuscripts can provide historians with valuable information about
选项 A、who commissioned the manuscript
B、the source from which the manuscript was copied
C、the value placed on the contents of the manuscript
D、where the manuscript was produced
E、the collaborative process used to produce the manuscript
答案D
解析 根据第二句，笔饰可用于确定手稿的完成时间和地点。注意，第五句只表明了笔饰在用于确定地点方面是less useful，相比于确定时间来说没有那么精确，但是并没有否认其在确定地点方面的功能，因此选项D正确。
