Writing and Reading

Question

      Corazza has been diligently reconstructing the details of Respighi and Diaghilev’s working relationship in an effort to shed light on this period in the history of music. Much of the primary evidence is found in their correspondence, as well as in notes left on their scores. What has made this a challenge, however, is that following his death in Venice in 1929, Diaghilev’s library and possessions were split between his two closest collaborators. 1 In the summer of 2012, however, Corazza found a record of auction that pointed to the existence of Respighi’s lost manuscript.
The writer is considering adding the following sentence.
These two estates, in turn, were further scattered due to ad hoc sales and international auctions.
Should the writer make this addition here?

Options

A
Yes, because it elaborates on the information presented in the preceding sentence.
B
Yes, because it introduces an idea that is further developed in the next sentence.
C
No, because it conveys information that is unrelated to the passage.
D
No, because it blurs the focus of the paragraph by introducing irrelevant information.
