69. Excavation of the ancient city of Kourion on the island of Cyprus revealed a pattern of debris and collapsed buildings typical of towns devastated by earthquakes. Archaeologists have hypothesized that the destruction was due to a major earthquake known to have occurred near the island in AD 365. - Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the archaeologists' hypothesis? (A) Bronze ceremonial drinking vessels that are often found in graves dating from years preceding and following AD 365 were also found in several graves near Kourion. (B) No coins minted after AD 365 were found in Kourion, but coins minted before that year were found in abundance. (C) Most modern histories of Cyprus mention that an earthquake occurred near the island in AD 365. (D) Several small statues carved in styles current in Cyprus in the century Mn
beeeAD 300 and 400 were found in Kourion. (E) Stone inscriptions in a form of the Greek alphabet that was definitely used in Cyprus after AD 365 were found in Kourion. 答案是B，主要是不明白原来那个argument里面hypothesized 的到底是the destruction，还是the destruction 的原因是earthquake? 我做题的时候以为是后者，然后想coins那么小的东西发掘出来不一定能说明毁灭就是地震造成的呀，只有雕像这种比较大型的东西才能说明the destruction 确实是地震的结果。但看OG的意思好像只是假设了毁灭，但看原文又觉得hypothesized 的是the destruction was due to a major earthquake，我是越来越糊涂了。。。 请大家帮忙 |
