According to the passage, which of the following is true of the artifacts discovered on the island of Flores?
Some believe them to be about one million years old.
The passage indicates that the artifacts discovered on Flores are suggested to be nearly one million years old, which implies that there are differing opinions about their age among archaeologists.
The passage explicitly states that the artifacts do not possess a "precocious level of craftsmanship," indicating that they do not reflect extraordinary manufacturing skill. Thus, this choice misinterprets the passage's content regarding the quality of the artifacts.
This statement is supported by the passage, which mentions that the artifacts are suggested to be nearly one million years old. This belief contributes to the larger argument about the capabilities of their makers.
The passage discusses the need for water transport to reach Flores from Java but does not state that the artifacts were found on such a craft. Therefore, this choice introduces an assumption not supported by the text.
While the passage focuses on the implications of the artifacts' age and the journey to Flores, it does not mention any comparison to artifacts found on Java. As such, this choice lacks a basis in the text.
The passage does not provide any information regarding the functionality of the artifacts in terms of food storage. This choice is not addressed and is therefore incorrect.
The passage emphasizes the age of the artifacts found on Flores and its implications for the capabilities of early humans, particularly regarding technology and language. Among the choices, only the belief that the artifacts are about one million years old accurately reflects the content of the passage, while all other options either misinterpret or add assumptions not supported by the text.
