This name was given to the Indians because their graves contained quantities of a red pigment (iron ochre) that they presumably used to decorate their faces and bodies. However, recently discovered Indian grave sites on the coast of Maine that contain these same red pigments have been conclusively dated to 4000 B.C. Therefore, the \u201cRed Paint People\u201d must have occupied the coast of Maine much earlier than archaeologists previously believed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which of the following is an assumption required by the argument above?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A)Tribes do not often adopt similar rituals and ceremonies to those that lived in a region previously.<\/p>\n<p>B)Other Indian tribes did not live in the same area as the \u201cRed Paint People\u201d<\/p>\n<p>C)Other recently discovered Indian gravesites in the same region were not conclusively dated earlier than 4500 B.C.<\/p>\n<p>D)The recently discovered grave sites on the coast of Maine did not contain other important characteristics of the \u201cRed Paint People\u201d<\/p>\n<p>E)Red pigments have been found in other gravesites on the coast of Maine belonging to tribes other than the \u201cRed Paint People\u201d.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/it-is-generally-believed-that-an-indian-tribe-known-as-166203.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: #fff; color: #fff;\">- A -<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/div>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=blog&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math Is the average of a set of 5 distinct positive integers {, , 4, 6, 2} greater than the median?
