Archaeologist: There were several porcelain-production centers in 18th-century Britain, among them Bristol, Plymouth, and New Hall. Each center developed a unique recipe for its porcelain that might include flint glass, soapstone, bone ash, clay, quartz, and so on. We will therefore be able to determine, on the basis of compositional analysis, where the next cup we recover from this archaeological site was made.
Indicate two different statements as follows: one statement identifies an assumption required by the archaeologist's argument and the other identifies a possible fact that, if true, would, provide significant logical support for the required assumption.

|
|
|
|
Porcelain makers often traveled between centers, experimenting with one another’s recipes
|

考古学家的argument是We will therefore be able to determine, on the basis of compositional analysis, where the next cup we recover from this archaeological site was made.。
Assumption required 想让argument成立，下一个杯子得是陶瓷的。
a possible fact that, if true, would, provide significant logical support for the required assumption. 要让上面的assumption更可信，那需要这个fact：Other cups have been recovered from the archaeological site, all of which were made of porcelain
