▶ Your Answer :
According to the passage, at first the woven baskets with
distinctive pattern have been found near the prehistoric village of Palea, so
it was believed that those were made only by Palean. However, ‘Palean’ basket
was found in Lithos and there’s a deep and big river called Brim River. For
ancient Paleans to get Lithos, they could have acrossed it only by boat.
However no boats have been found. So the author suggests that this supports the
so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.
In order to evaluate the argument, we should make sure some points
as the evidence.
First, we should elucidate whether the
woven baskets found in Palea is same as those in Lithos.
If there is some recognizable difference or
characteristic between the two, then it can be possible that they, people in Palea
and Lithos, individually developed the woven basket. This means the Palean
makes their own baskets, so it will partly weaken the argument.
Second, there should be more evidence to admit that there was no
association between Palea and Lithos. Even though there were no boats found, it
does not mean that there were no boats used by Paleans. For example, the paleans
might destroy or burn the boats after they used them, or their boats might be
destroyed through a big war.
Also, they might have another way to cross
the River. As an extreme case, they might across the river by swimming.
Therefore, assuming that there was no way to cross the river by the fact that
there were no boats found yet is irrelevant. If the Palean was able to
associate with Lithos, it is entirely possible that the Palean spread their
cultures including the baskets into the Lithos, which would weaken the
statement.
Therefore, to
evaluate the argument, some specific evidences are needed. It should be made clear
whether the baskets found in Palea and Lithos have difference to discriminate
or not. If it is true having individual characteristic, it will partly weaken
the argument as the Palean baskets are made by only Palean. Also, more persuasive
evidences are needed to assume that there was no association between Palea and
Lithos. The Palean might use the boats or other ways. So archaeologists should
use other approaches like looking for historical documents to prove that there
was no communication between the two. 토플 2년전?에 한거 이후로 영어공부를 안했더니 GRE 라이팅이 너무 어렵네요.. argue #1이니 다들 많이 써보시지 않으셨을까 싶어 많은 조언, 평가 부탁드려요!! 처참히 부수셔도 됩니다ㅠㅠ
