Archaeologists have hypothesized that the destruction was due to a major earthquake known to have occurred near the island in A.D. 365.<\/p>\n<p>Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the archaeologists' hypothesis?<\/p>\n<p>(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.<br \/>\n(B) No coins minted after A.D. 365 were found in Kourion, but coins minted before that year were found in abundance.<br \/>\n(C) Most modern histories of Cyprus mention that an earthquake occurred near the island in A.D. 365.<br \/>\n(D) Several small statues carved in styles current in Cyprus in the century between A.D. 300 and 400 were found in Kourion.<br \/>\n(E) Stone inscriptions in a form of the Greek alphabet that was definitely used in Cyrpus after A.D. 365 were found in Kourion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/critical-reasoning-problem-earthquakes-79679.html\">OA and Explanation<\/a><\/p>\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&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&tag=gmatclub-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math (DS) What is the value of ? 1. 2.
