The Nile Delta of Egypt was invaded and ruled from 1650 to 1550 B.C. by a people called the Hyksos. Their origin is uncertain, but archaeologists hypothesize that they were Canaanites. In support of this hypothesis, the archaeologists point out that excavations of Avaris, the Hyksos capital in Egypt, have uncovered large numbers of artifacts virtually identical to artifacts produced in Ashkelon, a major city of Canaan at the time of the Hyksos invasion.
In order to evaluate the force of the archaeologists' evidence,it would be most useful to determine which of the following?
Whether there were some artifacts found at Avaris that were unlike those produced in Ashkelon but that date to before 1700 B.C.
Whether the Hyksos ruled any other part of Egypt besides the Delta in the period from 1650 to 1550 B.C.
Whether Avaris was the nearest Hyksos city in Egypt to Canaan
Whether Ashkelon after 1550 B.C. continued to produce artifacts similar to those found at Avaris
Whether many of the artifacts found at Avaris that are similar to artifacts produced in Ashkelon date to well before the Hyksos invasion
background: Egypt delta在1650 to 1550 B.C.之间被Hyksos攻打
premise: 因为在Hyksos首都挖出来大量文物，这些文物和Canaan某个城市在Hyksos攻打埃及期间内生产出来的文物一模一样。-> Conclusion:Hyksos的祖先是Canaan人。问评价
choice d, 是否Ashkelon在1550BC之后继续生产那些和Avaries挖出来一模一样的文物。irrelevant
choice e, 是否许多在Avaris挖出来的和Ashkelon相似的文物可以追溯到Hyksos攻打之前。correct，如果否，说明这些文物可能是由H人带过来的。
