182.
The earliest Mayan pottery found at Colha, in Belize, is about 3,000 years old. Recently, however,4,500-year-oold stone agricultural implements were unearthed at colha. These implements resemble Mayan stone implements of a much later period, also found at Colha. Moreover, the implements’ designs are strikingly different from the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times. Therefore, there were surely Mayan settlements in Colha 4,500 years ago.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument/

(A) Ceramic ware is not known to have been used by the Maya to make agricultural implements.
(B) Carbon dating of corn pollen in Colha indicates that agriculture began there around 4,500 years ago.
(C) Archaeological evidence indicates that some of the oldest stone implements found at Colha were used to cut away vegetation after controlled burning of trees to open areas of swampland for cultivation.
(D) Successor cultures at a given site often adopt the style of agricultural implements used by earlier inhabitants of the same site.
(E) Many religious and social institutions of the Mayan people who inhabited Colha 3,000 years ago relied on a highly developed system of agricultural symbols.

今天,在複習到這題
感覺到思路很渾亂
請各位大大,解析一下

D

可以weaken 因為... 為何不說是"Mayan" 將採用更早以前人的agriculture 技術?
前人值得流傳下來的技術 被後人Mayan所採用 而非是因為Mayan在更早以前居住在那

[dibert8]

題目裡這句 the implements’ designs are strikingly different from the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times. 跟(D)是不是矛盾?
還是題目那句話是來混淆視聽的?

可否請各位大大解釋一下
(E) Many religious and social institutions of the Mayan people who inhabited Colha 3,000 years ago relied on a highly developed system of agricultural symbols.

為什麼是support阿? (感覺就推翻結論->不是4500 years ago,比較有weaken的味道阿?)

我認為這是無關選項
因為結論是建立在4500年的古物,推論出馬亞人的文明應是更早

而E說3000年前馬亞的宗教社會團體倚賴高度農業.........
這是毫無相干的資訊

可是文章不是寫

所以應該跟農業有關吧!?

agricultural implements和developed system of agricultural symbols.
題目沒說它們是一樣的,不能過度推論
