This one is not really difficult...
Excavations on the island of Crete have revealed a palace, built in a labyrinthine style, dating back almost 3,000 years. Many point to this as evidence that there is an element of truth behind the Creek myth, in which a warrior from Athens named Theseus goes to Crete and wanders a labyrinth until he kills the half-man, half-bull called the Minotaur.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the theory that there is an element of truth behind the myth?
A. Archaeologists have uncovered ruins from Athens that date back to roughly the same period.
B. The Minoan civilization, centered on Crete, is universally agreed to have been extremely advanced; excavations of the palace demonstrate that it may have had running water.
C. Archaeologists theorize that the palace was leveled by a natural disaster around 3,400 years ago.
D. Documents indicate that people from kingdoms outside Crete, including Athens, often had reason to go to Crete, which was the center of power in the region at that time.
E. In most versions of the myth, Theseus is said to have used a ball of thread to find his way through the labyrinth.
