Premise : The ancient Kazazi tribe is considered the first group of people to domesticate corn, famously giving different varieties of corn their own unique names.
Premise : The Kazazi did not have unique names for varieties of wheat,
Conclusion : however, so it is unlikely that the Kazazi were able to domesticate wheat.
Which of the following, if true, most undermines the conclusion drawn above?
So, conclusion says that since the Kazazi dodn't have different names for varieties of wheat, so they were not able to domesticate wheat.. So, to undermine the conclusion we will have to find the statement in which there may be different corps which were domesticated by kazazi but were provided different names by them.
A) The climate and soil conditions that are best for growing corn are the same conditions that are best for growing wheat.yes this looks close. Since the climate and soil conditions to grow corn a and wheat are some, kazazi should have domesticated wheat also. But not exactly.. they might not also.. So we will keep this option for now.
B) Archaeologists have discovered that the first tribe to domesticate wheat did so more than 50 years before the Kazazi domesticated corn.Since wheat was domesticated 50 years before kazazi domesticated corn, it might have been done by either Kazazi or any other tribe.. Out of scope.
C) Tribes only give unique names to crops that they have successfully domesticated.This strengthens the argument in the stem.
D) The Kazazi did not have unique names for different varieties of potatoes or lettuce, crops the tribe is known to have domesticated.yes this is correct, Kazazi did not have unique names for different varities of potatoes or lettuce which were domesticated by the kazazi only.
E) The knowledge and tools required to domesticate wheat are more sophisticated than the knowledge and tools required to domesticate corn.So, Kazazi might have domesticated wheat... They might not.. Can't say.. Out Of Scope ...
