Flute; indications; a corpse are all listed as examples of Archaeological evidence.

D. the making of flutes from bird bones, the using of aphrodisiacs, or the burying of a wrapped corpse with a necklace made of stone beads, discovered in the ancient city of pyramids at Caral in Peru suggests

IMHO here in D, the making;using;burying could not be the examples of evidence. Moreover the results of these are what could be the evidence

Since multiple evidences have been cited, should not "evidences" be used rather than "evidence". On the other hand, if we treat "evidence" as uncountable noun, then should not there be S-V agreement for the main verb "suggests" as "suggest" ?

Hi abhishekmayank,

It is not a good idea to use evidences (noun) unless you're absolutely sure that your audience is also aware that the noun evidence can go plural. In almost all cases, it's better to stick to using evidence as a non-count noun (use something like pieces of evidence if you need to go plural). But we really don't need to worry about this, because evidence is in the non-underlined portion of the sentence. Because evidence is singular, the correct option uses a singular verb, suggests. The number of examples in the such as phrase can't change that.

Archaeological evidence, such as flutes made from bird bones, indications of aphrodisiac use, and a corpse wrapped and buried with a necklace made of stone beads, discovered in the ancient city of pyramids at Caral in Peru suggests that the city was built on trade and its people valued pleasure.
