Archaeological examination of the ancient city of Helike, located in Achaea, revealed a pattern of geological damage and collapsed buildings that resembles the pattern formed after tsunamis level down settlements. Thus, archaeologists have theorized that the destruction was caused by a well-documented tsunami that struck Acahea in 373 BCE.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the archaeologists' hypothesis?
A. Ceramic funeral urns that are often found in graves dating from years before and after 373 BCE were also found in several graves near Helike.
B. Inscriptions utilizing a form of the Hellenic alphabet that was certainly used in Achaea after 373 BCE were found in Hellike.
C. Most contemporary accounts of Achaean history mention that a severe tsunami struck the region in 373 BCE.
D. Several coins minted in styles current in Achaea in the century between 350 BCE and 200 BCE were found in Helike.
E. Excavation in Helike found fragments of pottery created before 373 BCE in abundance but did not find any fragments of pottery created after 373 BCE.

examination revealed the pattern of geological damage and collapsed buildings that resembles pattern formed after tsunamis level down settlements.
conclusion- deconstruction was caused by well documented tsunami that struck in 373 BCE.
just because they found the recurring pattern thast was formed after tsunamis level down settlements, they made conclusion that deconstruction was happened by tsunami.
A. Ceramic funeral urns that are often found in graves dating from years before and after 373 BCE were also found in several graves near Helike.
but that doesnt tell me that tsunami happened or not. there could be so many reason why they still exist before and after. so reject.
B. Inscriptions utilizing a form of the Hellenic alphabet that was certainly used in Achaea after 373 BCE were found in Hellike.
but tsunami happened in 373. and this doesnt tell me anything about that. reject.
C. Most contemporary accounts of Achaean history mention that a severe tsunami struck the region in 373 BCE.
passage says that its well documented. so reject.
D. Several coins minted in styles current in Achaea in the century between 350 BCE and 200 BCE were found in Helike.
not relevant here, reject.
E. Excavation in Helike found fragments of pottery created before 373 BCE in abundance but did not find any fragments of pottery created after 373 BCE.
yes, this tells tsunami happened. that means earlier they used to do pottery but since 373 there werent any evidence of it. so something must have caused it to come to stop. so this bridges that link. so keep.

A. Ceramic funeral urns that are often found in graves dating from years before and after 373 BCE were also found in several graves near Helike.
This option only suggests that the town Helike existed before the 373BC and even AFTER 373BC. But does not relate to tsunami.
B. Inscriptions utilizing a form of the Hellenic alphabet that was certainly used in Achaea after 373 BCE were found in Hellike.
No relation to Tsunami, only evidence of Hellike.
C. Most contemporary accounts of Achaean history mention that a severe tsunami struck the region in 373 BCE.
Tsunami is well documented plus this gives only confirmation. But does not actually support the hypothesis of destruction.
D. Several coins minted in styles current in Achaea in the century between 350 BCE and 200 BCE were found in Helike.
Irrelevant to the hypothesis.
E. Excavation in Helike found fragments of pottery created before 373 BCE in abundance but did not find any fragments of pottery created after 373 BCE.
Confirmation that something happened in 373BC that disrupted the lives of people in Helike after that and their lifestyle was severly affected. This well supports the hypothesis by acheologists.
