文章如下：
Often enough the craft worker’s place of employment in ancient Greece was set in
rural isolation. Potter, for instance, found it convenient to locate their workshops near
their source of clay, regardless of its relation to the center of settlement, At Corinth and
Athens, however, two of the best-known potters’ quarters were situated on the cities’
(5) outskirts, and potters and makers of terra-cotta figurines were also established well within
the city of Athens itself. The techniques of pottery manufacture had evolved well before
the Greek period, but marked stylistic developments occurred in shape and in decoration,
for example, in the interplay of black and other glazes with the red surface of the fired pot.
Athenian black-figure and red-figure decoration, which emphasized human figures rather
(10) than animal images, was adopted between 630 and 530 B.C.；its distinctive color and luster
were the result of the skillful adjustments of the kiln’s temperature during an extended
three-stage period if firing the clayware. Whether it was the potters or the vase-painters
who initiated changes in firing is unclear; the functions of making and decorating were
usually divided between them, but neither group can have been so specialized the they
(15) did not share in the concerns of the other.
The broad utility of terra-cotta was such that workers in clay could generally afford to
Confine themselves to either decorated ware and housewares like cooking pots and storage
Jars or building materials like roof tiles and drainpipes. Some sixth-and fifth-century B.C.
Athenian pottery establishments are known to have concentrated on a limited range of fine
(20) ware, but a rural pottery establishment on the laceType>islandlaceType> of laceName>ThasoslaceName> produced many types of
pottery and roof tiles too, presumably to meet local demand. Molds were used to create
particular effects for some products, such as relief-decorated vessels and figurines; for
other products such as roof tiles, which were needed in some quantity, they were used to
facilitate mass production. There were also a number of poor-quality figurines and painted
(25) pots produced in quantity by easy, inexpensive means- as numerous featureless statuettes and unattractive cases testify.
题目：
3. It can be inferred from the passage that most pottery establishments in ancient Greece were situated
(A) in city centers
(B) on the outskirts of cities
(C) where clay could be found
(D) near other potters’ workshops
我做的时候，觉得答案出自我标的黄色颜色的地方，这样的话应该选C，但我后来有看了蓝色的文字，觉得Best-known的地方好像更符合，所以就选了B，结果看了答案，却还是C，昏倒，还请大家帮忙看看，指点一下哦，谢谢！！！
