5. Archaeologists have found wheeled ceramic toys made by the Toltec, twelfth-century inhabitants of what is now Veracruz. Although there is no archaeo- logical evidence that the Toltec used wheels for anything but toys, some anthropologists hypothesize that wheeled utility vehicles were used to carry materials needed for the monumental structures the Toltec produced.
Which of the following, if true, would most help the anthropologists explain the lack of evidence noted above? (A) The Toltec sometimes incorporated into their toys representations of utensils or other devices that served some practical purpose. (B) Any wheeled utility vehicies used by the Toltec could have been made entirely of wood, and unlike ceramic, wood decays rapidly in the humid climate of Veracruz. (C) Carvings in monument walls suggest that the Toltec’s wheeled ceramic toys sometimes had ritual uses in addition to being used by both children and adults as decorations and playthings. (D) Wheeled utility vehicles were used during the twelfth century in many areas of the world, but during this time wheeled toys were not very common in areas outside Veracruz. (E) Some of the wheeled ceramic toys were found near the remains of monumental structures. 答案B，我选A。请教
题干说考古学家在某地发现了有轮子的瓷器做的玩具。虽然除了玩具以外，考古学家 没发现 其他有轮子的东西， 但他们还是假定 that wheeled utility vehicles were used to carry materials needed for the monumental structures the Toltec produced. 答案B就解释了wheeled utility vehicles 是用木头做的，会因为潮湿而腐烂掉， lack of evidence 就是说的这个。
