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 A.D. 365.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the archaeologists' hypothesis?
Bronze ceremonial drinking vessels that are often found in graves dating from years preceding and following A.D. 365 were also found in several graves near Kourion.
No coins minted after A.D. 365 were found in Kourion, but coins minted before that year were found in abundance.
Most modern histories of Cyprus mention that an earthquake occurred near the island in A.D. 365.
Several small statues carved in styles current in Cyprus in the century between A.D. 300 and A.D. 400 were found in Kourion.
Stone inscriptions in a form of the Greek alphabet that was definitely used in Cyprus after A.D. 365 were found in Kourion.
考古学家挖出了一个典型被地震摧毁的建筑遗址,他们推测建筑是被发生在AD365年的地震所摧毁的。
choice a, 被鉴定早于或晚于AD365年的graves中所发现的酒器也被发现于 Kourion附近的graves中。 irrelevant,对于判断时间没有帮助
choice b, 没有一个铸造时间晚于AD365年的coins被发现,但是早于AD365年的coin被发现且很多。correct
choice c,很多历史提到了AD365年发生过地震, irrelevant,没有建立起地震和被摧毁的城市之间的关系
choice d, 许多在AD300-AD365之间雕刻的雕塑被发现。irrelevant
choice e, 一种在AD365年以后被使用的希腊文字的石头碑文被找到。weaken,说明Kourion AD365年的时候还存在
