单选题 In the passage the author implied that ______.

A、 music did not exist before the Middle Ages
B、 we were not better off than the Greek and Roman men
C、 there .was not enough evidence to prove that Western music was originated from the ancient Greece and Rome
D、 there were no authentic remains of the ancient Roman music

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】文中说道人们企图将西方音乐追溯到古希腊、古罗马时代，但无法考证，因为没有完整可靠的那个时代的音乐保留，残留的也只是一些片段而已，所以C项符合文意。A项“音乐在中世纪以前不存在”错误，在古代就有了；B项文中是说“我们与中世纪的人们相比，也好不到哪儿去”，并非与古代人相比；D项是文章原话，不是作者暗示。
