1. Jewelry was found only at sites where statuettes were not found.
Sort the table as per 'Jewelery'.
Check if every site that had yes for Jewelery had a no for statuettes.
A, D and F have a yes for jewelery and each of them has a no for statuettes.
So, YES
2. Jewelry was found only at sites where pottery was also found.
Sort the table as per 'Jewelery' again.
Check if every site that had yes for Jewelery had a yes for pottery.
A, D and F have a yes for jewelery and each of them has a yes for pottery.
So, YES
Does not matter that C has a yes for pottery but a no for jewelery, because we are concerned with only the opposite, that is there should be no site of jewelery where pottery was not found.
3. Statuettes were found at each site where pottery was not found.
Sort the table as per 'Pottery'.
Check if every site that had no for pottery had a yes for satuettes.
B and E have a no for pottery and each of them has a yes for satuettes.
So, YES
Does not matter what happens at sites where pottery was found. We are concerned only with sites that did not have pottery, and those are B and E.

For each of six archaeological excavation sites, the table shows whether pottery, jewelry, or statuettes were found at that site.
| Site | Pottery | Jewelry | Satuettes |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | yes | yes | no |
| B | no | no | yes |
| C | yes | no | yes |
| D | yes | yes | no |
| E | no | no | yes |
| F | yes | yes | no |
For each of the following statements about the sites in the table, select Yes if the statement is accurate based on the information provided. Otherwise, select No.
A simple question to answer where the candidate needs to be calm and patient.
Step-1: Read the information carefully above to table to grasp the nature of data given
Step-2: Read the first line to be validated as Yes or NO carefully to know where the sorting needs to be applied.
I)The first line is "Jewelry was found only at sites where statuettes were not found."
so I sorted it as per 'Jewellery' and I see the following table
I can see wherever jewellery is found, statuettes were not found hence this statement is a YES
II) The second line is "Jewelry was found only at sites where pottery was also found."
I can see wherever jewellery is found, statuettes were not found hence this statement is a YES
III) The third line is "Statuettes were found at each site where pottery was not found."
Now arrange table as per pottery and we see the following table
as per this table, we can see that first two rows where pottery wasn't found, statuettes were found hence this statement is a YES
Answer: Yes, Yes, Yes
