Samples from a ceramic vase found at a tomb in Sicily prove that the vase was manufactured in Greece. Since the occupant of the tomb died during the reign of a Sicilian ruler who lived 2,700 years ago, the location of the vase indicates that there was trade between Sicily and Greece 2,700 years ago.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

(A) Sicilian potters who lived during the reign of the ruler did not produce work of the same level of quality as did Greek potters.

(B) Sicilian clay that was used in the manufacture of pottery during the ruler’s reign bore little resemblance to Greek clay used to manufacture pottery at that time.

(C) At the time that the occupant of the tomb was alive, there were ships capable of transporting large quantities of manufactured goods between Sicily and Greece.

(D) The vase that was found at the Sicilian tomb was not placed there many generations later by descendants of the occupant of the tomb.（D）

(E) The occupant of the tomb was not a member of the royal family to which the Sicilian ruler belonged.

答案是

请各位NN指点?

Since the occupant of the tomb died during the reign of a Sicilian ruler who lived 2,700 years ago, the location of the vase indicates that there was trade between Sicily and Greece 2,700 years ago.

这两句话怎么就有因果关系了(由于墓主死于2700年前SICILIAN的统治时代,这陶瓷花瓶就意味着2700年前两个国家有贸易往来)

谢过先!

在sicily一个古墓发现的陶瓷花瓶被证明是在希腊生产的。sicilian统治者生活在2700年前，由于古墓的主人在sicilian统治时期死的，则发现该花瓶的地点表明在2700年前sicily和希腊存在贸易往来。

试想：除了贸易往来外，有没有其他可能原因使在希腊生产的花瓶出现在sicily？比如说后来有人放进去的？如果否定了他因，那么便能确定确实有贸易往来。
