题目材料：

Margaret Bayard Smith's 1836 biographical sketch of Dolley Madison extensively quotes a letter Madison allegedly wrote to her sister in 1814 detailing her last hours in the White House before it was burned by invading troops. Madison, who gave Smith a copy of the letter, provided conflicting accounts of the original document's whereabouts. It is possible that in 1814 Madison wrote the letter Smith quoted, or one very similar: other authenticated documents she later wrote agree with its account. More likely, Madison may have edited or embellished the original letter for publication. In contrast to her typically slapdash style, the letter given to Smith unfolds like a novel, in uncharacteristically formal and flowery language. The text also includes details unnecessary in a letter between sisters, though useful to general readers.

The author of the passage mentions "other authenticated documents" primarily in order to

A.corroborate Smith' s account of how she came into possession of a copy of Madison' s letter
B.point out the contrast between the verifiability of the copy of the letter Madison gave Smith and other documents Madison wrote
C.show that Madison did not usually give conflicting accounts of the whereabouts of documents she had produced
D.suggest that the account in the copy of the letter Madison gave to Smith is consistent with the account in the original letter
E.provide evidence that supports the passage' s characterization of Madison' s usual writing style
