Excavations of the Roman city of Sepphoris haveuncovered numerous detailed mosaics depicting several readily identifiableanimal species: a hare, a partridge, andvarious Mediterranean fish. Oddly, mostof the species represented did not live in the Sepphoris region when thesemosaics were created. Since identicalmotifs appear in mosaics found in other Roman cities, however, the mosaics ofSepphoris were very likely created by traveling artisans from some other partof the Roman Empire. Which of the following is an assumption on whichthe argument depends? A. The Sepphoris mosaics are not composedexclusively of types of stones found naturally in the Sepphoris area. B. There is no single region to which all thespecies depicted in the Sepphoris mosaics are native. C. No motifs appear in the Sepphoris mosaics thatdo not also appear in the mosaics of some other Roman city. D. All of the animal figures in the Sepphorismosaics are readily identifiable as representations of known species. E. There was not a common repertory of mosaicdesigns with which artisans who lived in various parts of the Roman Empire werefamiliar.
正确答案E的解释是:没有一套罗马帝国所共用的镶嵌工艺的设计模板。该选项可以提供另外一个除掉结论外的原因来解释“果”。因为用了模板,所以纵然没有这个动物,也能雕刻成这个动物的样子。属于CQ1:说明结果问题。
不甚明白,请明白的同学帮忙解释一下。我觉得B也挺对的呀,因为没有一个地方有S壁画上的所有动物,所以是旅行的艺术家带来的,感觉有一个together的过程。但是E的模板感觉好突兀啊。
