65.Excavation of the ancient city of Kourion on the island
of Cyprus revealed a pattern of debris and collapsed
buildings typical of towns devastated by earthquakes.
Archaeologists have hypothesized that the destruction
was due to a major earthquake known to have
occurred near the island in A.D. 365.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports
the archaeologists’ hypothesis?
(A) Bronze ceremonial drinking vessels that are
often found in graves dating from years
preceding and following A.D. 365 were also
found in several graves near Kourion.
(B) No coins minted after A.D. 365 were found in
Kourion, but coins minted before that year were
found in abundance.
(C) Most modern histories of Cyprus mention that
an earthquake occurred near the island in
A.D. 365.
(D) Several small statues carved in styles current in
Cyprus in the century between A.D. 300 and
A.D. 400 were found in Kourion.
(E) Stone inscriptions in a form of the Greek
alphabet that was definitely used in Cyprus after
A.D. 365 were found in Kourion.

实际上是最后一句话确认了地震的存在
Archaeologists have hypothesized that the destruction was due to a major earthquake kown to have occurred near the island in A.D. 365

第一句只是说瓦砾和房屋的损毁方式都是很常见的由地震所引起的方式。

故C只是confirms a fact already known in the argument.

谢谢。前几天没上CD，看了你的分析，觉得这个可能强调的 是否发生在哪个时间，而并不是强调是否发生地震。更清晰了，谢谢了。

这道题我也最近刚做，而且做错了，跟LZ互相讨论一下吧，我是参考了OG后面的答案的。
原文说在K这个地方发现有被地震破坏的痕迹，考古学家认为是由于公元365年左右的一次大地震造成的，问题是问那个选项可以支持。我当时自己选了C, 因为我考虑到如果能够确认在那个时间确实有大地震，不是可以支持了吗？实际上，如果仔细阅读原文第一句，就知道其实破坏是由地震造成的，这个事实已经被确认了，所以C是重复了已经确认的事实，无效。而B句的意思是针对时间的，说365年前有铸造的硬币，而之后没有了，隐含意思说，地震了，村落毁了，所以没有硬币了。
