Since surface finishes provided a pleasing appearance and also improved the durability

       In day-to-day use, the potter smoothed the exterior surface of the pot with wet hands. Often

      A wet clay solution, known as a slip, was applied to the smooth surface. Brightly colored

       Slips were often used and formed painted decorations on the vessel. In later times. glazes

(15) came into use in some areas. A glaze is a form of slip that turns to a glasslike finish during

       high-temperature firing. When a slip was not applied, the vessel was allowed to dry slowly

     until the external surface was almost like leather in texture. It was then rubbed with a

     round stone or similar object to give it a shiny, hard surface. Some pots were adorned with

       incised or stamped decorations.

45. Which of the following was a method used by some potters to give vessels a glossy finish?

(A) Smoothing them with wet hands

(B) Mixing the clay with colored solutions

(C) Baking them at a very high

temperature

(D) Rubbing them with a smooth hard object

答案是A，太傻上解释是D。因为后面It was then rubbed with a

     round stone or similar object to give it a shiny, hard surface.

而我觉得还是可以理解是A，因为

Since surface finishes provided a pleasing appearance and also improved the durability

       In day-to-day use, the potter smoothed the exterior surface of the pot with wet hands.

而且B。C 。D 三个选项都是具体的怎么做。我觉得文章是先说个大概在具体说怎么做。

你提供的原句中没有出现跟glossy相对应的词，其他两种方法也描述的不确切，还是选D最好。。

大家讨论一下。

the potter smoothed the exterior surface of the pot with wet hands

这儿用了个smooth vt.
使光滑, 烫平, 使优雅, 消除

glossy/adj.
平滑的, 有光泽的

而a shiny, hard surface没有光滑的意思。

这个题目可以多讨论一下，看看其他朋友的意见。。

brace

关键词语在finish这个字上面。 选D。 finish是名词－最后的表面。

A不能反映这个意思。
