Verbal<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Commemorative plaques cast from brass are a characteristic art form of the Benin culture of West Africa. Some scholars, noting that the oldest surviving plaques date to the 1400s, hypothesize that brass-casting techniques were introduced by the Portuguese, who came to Benin in 1485 A.D. But Portuguese records of that expedition mention cast-brass jewelry sent to Benin\u2019s king from neighboring Ife. So it is unlikely that Benin\u2019s knowledge of brass casting derived from the Portuguese.<\/p>\n

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?<\/p>\n

(A) The Portuguese records do not indicate whether their expedition of 1485 included metalworkers.<\/p>\n

(B) The Portuguese had no contact with Ife until the 1500s.<\/p>\n

(C) In the 1400s the Portuguese did not use cast brass for commemorative plaques.<\/p>\n

(D) As early as 1500 A.D., Benin artists were making brass plaques incorporating depictions of Europeans.<\/p>\n

(E) Copper, which is required for making brass, can be found throughout Benin territory.<\/p>\n
