Q5: According to the passage, which of the following is probably true of the storage spaces mentioned in line 14? - They were used by the community elite for storage of their own food supplies.
- They served a ceremonial as well as a practical function.
- Their size is an indication of the wealth of the particular community to which they belonged.
- Their existence proves that the community to which they belonged imported large amounts of food.
- They belonged to and were used by the community as a whole.
手头的答案是B,但文章里说的是the Great Kivas是用于仪式的,并不代表题目所问的周围的spaces也用于仪式。另外这句话中以及本段段尾那句话都用了communal,表明是公用的。所以觉得E也很对。不知正确答案到底是哪一个。
