Archaeologist: Researchers excavating a burial site in Cyprus found a feline skeleton lying near a human
skeleton. Both skeletons were in the same sediment at the same depth and equally well-preserved. suggesting
that the feline and human were buried together about 9.500 years ago. This shows that felines were
domesticated around the time farming began, when they would have been useful in protecting stores of grain
from mice.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the archaeologists argument?
(A) Archaeologists have not found any remains of stores of grain in the immediate vicinity of the burial site.
(B) The burial site in Cyprus is substantially older than any other known burial site in which a feline skeleton
and a human skeleton appear to have been buried together.
(C) Paintings found near the burial site seem to show people keeping felines as domestic companions, but do
not show felines luring mice.
(D) In Cyprus, there are many burial sites dating from around 9,500 years ago in which the remains of wild animals appear to have been buried alongside human remains.
(E) Before felines were domesticated, early farmers had no effective way to protect stores of grain from
Mice.
