Possible interpretation of slurs in A

Simplest interpretation of slurs in A (→GE→FE→EE)

In A, the slur begun in bar 6 (the last in the line of text) has no continuation, which makes it impossible to figure out Chopin's exact intention for slurring of that phrase. The solution adopted in GE (→FE→EE) seems the most appropriate one (cf. analogous bars 54-55).
