The oldest pieces of Tlingit art found in the Pacific Northwest of North America date from about 2,500 years ago. However, a 4,000-year-old longboat was recently found in this region. This longboat resembles the Tlingit's distinctive fishing vessels. Moreover, this longboat has features that have never been observed in the vessels of any other culture known to have inhabited North America. Therefore, the Tlingit almost certainly began to reside in the Pacific Northwest at least 4,000 years ago.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
Sometimes, cultures which enter an area adopt a distinctive style of boat construction from former cultures which they assimilate or replace. correct
The Tlingit maintain a rich oral history of their people, but this history contains no information about the date of the tribe's immigration to the Pacific Northwest.
The Tlingit constructed their longboats primarily for the purpose of fishing; little artwork is found on their boats.
Fish play a major role in the artwork of the Tlingit, and the longboat itself is thought to be the origin of a distinctive symbol in this art.
Archaeological analysis of former settlements in the Pacific Northwest suggests that fishing took place in this region 4,000 years ago.

A IMO.
MY SHORT EXP:
PREMISE:TLINGIT =2,500(-+)BUT A 4,000 YEARS OLD BOAT WAS FOUND IN TLINGIT LAND
conclusion: TLINGIT>4,000.
WHAT IF OTHER COLTURE BUILT THAT BOAT 4,000 YEARS AGO AND THE TLINGIT JUST ADOPTED IT?
it weakens the conclution becuse 4,000 years a go the boat could be built by X tribe and then 2,500 yeras ago the Tlingit just adopted it. so the conclusion that the Tlingit>4,000 is false
THOGH I THINK YOUR Q. SHOULD BE IN CR POSTS
