For the period from the eighth century through the eleventh century, the shifting boundaries between Kingdom F and Kingdom G have not been well charted. Although a certain village in a border region between the two kingdoms usually belonged to Kingdom G, ninth-century artifacts found in the village were in the typical Kingdom F style of that time. It is unclear whether the village was actually apart of Kingdom F in the ninth century or whether it was a part of Kingdom G but had merely adopted Kingdom F's artistic styles under Kingdom F's cultural influence.
Which of the following would, if found in ninth-century sites in the village, best help in determining whether the village was a part of Kingdom F or Kingdom G in the ninth century?
A trading contract written in the Kingdom G dialect
A drawing of a dwelling complex known to have existed on the border of Kingdom F and Kingdom G in the ninth century
Knives and other utensils made from metal typical of ninth-century mining sites in Kingdom F
Some fragments of pottery made in the Kingdom G style from the seventh century out of materials only found in Kingdom F
Numerous teeth from the ninth century with a chemical signature typical only of teeth from people who had grown up in the heart of Kingdom F
情景:八到十一世纪,F和G两个国家的边界一直不明确。虽然有个边境村庄一直属于G,但九世纪的时候,在那儿发现了F style的工艺品。所以到底是1. 九世纪的时候这个村庄是F的一部分,还是2. 它是G的村庄但受F国影响?
推理:这种题型不需要辨别推理方式,直接从选项中找一个可以证明村庄到底属于谁的证据。
选项分析:
A选项:用G国方言写的交易合同:交易双方都会有这个合同,所以即使是用G国方言写的 ,也有可能是被交易一方带到F国。
B选项:一幅存在于九世纪F国和G国边界上的住宅建筑群的图画:一幅画是无法证明这个村庄是哪国的。
C选项:由F国产的金属制造的餐具:由于两国间的贸易,这个信息无法让我们得出准确结论。
D选项:由F国材料制造的G国style陶器碎片:由于两国间的贸易,这个信息无法让我们得出准确结论。
E选项:正确。大量的属于F国中心的人的牙齿:大量的属于F国人的牙齿一定程度上可以证明这个地方属于F国。商品贸易比国内迁徙更为容易,所以和上述几个可以通过贸易实现的证据相比,人口迁徙的证据更为有力。
真的现在GMAT出题越来越莫名其妙了。
E我觉得也有问题,为什么不能是战争屠杀后留下大量尸体的牙齿。。。
