Which TWO of the following statements does the writer make about the discoveries of Barrett's team?
-
Hunters entered the mountains even in times of severe cold.
-
Some periods yielded comparatively few artefacts.
-
Some artefact radiocarbon dates proved unreliable.
-
Oppland produced more artefacts than any other mountain location.
(A) is incorrect. Choice A says "Hunters entered the mountains even in times of severe cold.", but the supporting evidence for the correct answers is "They found that some periods produced many artefacts, showing that people had been highly active in the mountains, whereas other periods produced few or no signs of activity. They also treated some radiocarbon dating cautiously because isolated results could be unreliable when separated from their archaeological context.". That evidence does not give Choice A as one of the two required statements.
(B) is correct. Choice B matches the question because "Some periods yielded comparatively few artefacts." is directly supported by the passage evidence: "They found that some periods produced many artefacts, showing that people had been highly active in the mountains, whereas other periods produced few or no signs of activity.". That sentence gives one of the required ideas for "Which TWO of the following statements does the writer make about the discoveries of Barrett's team?".
(C) is correct. Choice C matches the question because "Some artefact radiocarbon dates proved unreliable." is directly supported by the passage evidence: "They also treated some radiocarbon dating cautiously because isolated results could be unreliable when separated from their archaeological context.". That sentence gives one of the required ideas for "Which TWO of the following statements does the writer make about the discoveries of Barrett's team?".
(D) is incorrect. Choice D says "Oppland produced more artefacts than any other mountain location.", but the supporting evidence for the correct answers is "They found that some periods produced many artefacts, showing that people had been highly active in the mountains, whereas other periods produced few or no signs of activity. They also treated some radiocarbon dating cautiously because isolated results could be unreliable when separated from their archaeological context.". That evidence does not give Choice D as one of the two required statements.

-
Hunters then profited from rising demand for goods.
-
The start of the period brought the largest increase in Viking wealth.
-
Vikings used more than ships to move goods.
-
Norwegian towns then drew traders from across the globe.
(A) is correct. Choice A matches the question because "Hunters then profited from rising demand for goods." is directly supported by the passage evidence: "Expanding Norwegian towns and export markets would have created strong demand for hides to protect against the cold and antlers for objects such as combs.". That sentence gives one of the required ideas for "Which TWO of the following statements does the writer make about the Viking Age?".
(B) is incorrect. Choice B says "The start of the period brought the largest increase in Viking wealth.", but the supporting evidence for the correct answers is "Expanding Norwegian towns and export markets would have created strong demand for hides to protect against the cold and antlers for objects such as combs. Although Scandinavian expansion is often associated with ships, the discoveries show that many goods moved overland through routes such as the mountain passes of Oppland.". That evidence does not give Choice B as one of the two required statements.
