Archaeologist: There were several sandstone statues of a female figure excavated from an archaeological site of an ancient Mayan city dating back to 1300 BC. After several detailed studies on the shapes of these statues and the methods most likely employed to make them, the statues were divided into four categories - exotic and minutely detailed statues of the female figure sculpted by the upper class men of the time, statues of the female figure in humble clothing sculpted by the lower dass men of the time, statues of the female face with various expressions sculpted by the women of the time, and minimalistic statues of the female figure sculpted by the kids of the time. Owing to this knowledge, we will be able to determine, on the basis of how the statue is modeled, which section of the ancient society sculpted the next statue that we recover from the archaeological site.
Indicate two different statements as follows: one statement identifying an assumption required for the archaeologist's argument and the other identifying a possible fact that, if true, would provide significant logical support for the required assumption.

This one's sneaky because it reads like a classification question, but the actual gap in the argument is about material, not style.
1. Look at what the conclusion is actually claiming. The archaeologist says we can figure out who sculpted the next statue based on how it's modeled. But that whole four category system (upper class men, lower class men, women, kids) was built by studying sandstone statues specifically. Nothing in the passage guarantees the next find will even be sandstone.
2. That's the trap. Most people jump straight into the four style categories because that's where all the interesting detail is, and pick an assumption about which group made the next statue. But you can't even get to "which style group" until you've assumed the next statue is sandstone in the first place. If it turns out to be wood or clay, the whole classification system the archaeologist built doesn't even apply.
3. So the required assumption is: the next statue recovered from the site will likely be made of sandstone. Without that, the argument doesn't get off the ground.
4. For the supporting fact, you want something that makes that assumption more believable. "Sandstone was the only material used for sculpting" does exactly that. If sandstone was literally the only material this ancient society ever carved with, betting the next find will also be sandstone is a pretty safe bet.
5. The other fact options are traps built on surface details, overlap between groups, kids of the upper class, other artifacts. All interesting, none of them touch the actual gap in the logic.
Takeaway: whenever an argument predicts something using a classification system, check whether the next case is even guaranteed to belong to the same universe the classification was built from. That's usually where the real assumption is hiding.

why this can't be a possible fact? It also helps the case that statue will be of female.
