Hello
zoezhuyan(E) is too extreme. The author thinks the process is overall good. This takes the limits described at the very end too far.
(A) is correct. It points out the author’s overall idea about this process. It also implies the limits described in the last paragraph by noting that the process is useful
“in some cases .”So A is the preferable over EHope it helpszoezhuyan wrote:
1. Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage?
(A) Analysis of fossilized pollen is a useful means of supplementing and in some cases correcting other sources of information regarding changes in the Irish landscape.
(B) Analyses of historical documents, together with pollen evidence, have led to the revision of some previously accepted hypotheses regarding changes in the Irish landscape.
(C) Analysis of fossilized pollen has proven to be a valuable tool in the identification of ancient plant species.
(D) Analysis of fossilized pollen has provided new evidence that the cultivation of such crops as cereal grains, flax, and madder had a significant impact on the landscape of Ireland.
(E) While pollen evidence can sometimes supplement other sources of historical information, its applicability is severely limited, since it cannot be used to identify plant species.
hi experts, i am struggled with A and E, and eventually picked up E because of the last paragraph, which says limit.
in contrast, A doesnot mention the limit , the point of the last paraphragh.
