The Hyksos invaded the Nile Delta of Egypt and ruled it from 1650 B.C. Their origin is uncertain, but archaeologists hypothesize that they were Canaanites. In support of this hypothesis, the archaeologists point out that excavations of Avans, the Hyksos capital in Egypt, have uncovered large numbers of artifacts virtually identical to artifacts produced in Ashkelon, and Ashkelon was a major city of Canaan at the time of the Hyksos’ invasion.

In order to evaluate the force of the archaeologists’ evidence, it would useful to determine which of the following?

A.！Whether artifacts from Ashkelon were widely traded to non-Canaanite cities?

B.Whether significant numbers of artifacts that do not resemble artifacts produced in Ashkelon have been found at Avans?

C.Whether Avans was the nearest Hyksos city in Egypt to Canaan

D.Whether Ashkelon after 1550 B.C. continued to produce artifacts similar to those found at Avans?

E.Whether any artifacts produced by the Hyksos after 1550 B.C .have been found in Egypt
答案选A，这题怎么分析的呀？我选了D

A选项正确，如果A的artifects were widely traded to non-C cities，那么其他地方发现这些artifects便不能成为判断其也是C cities的理由，因为这些artifects是可以通过交易得来的。如果没有widely traded,那么文中的假设就成立。D选项对于evaluate没有任何帮助吧？他继续生产跟判断H到底是不是C有什么关系么
