• Para la pregunta de la frase que apoya la respuesta de Part A (Part B), la opción C menciona que algunas crannogs solo eran accesibles por canoa, lo cual respalda la idea de que las canoas se usaban para viajar a ellas.
• Para la pregunta de la definición de "diámetro", el origen griego "diá - (pasando a través)" y " - metron (medida)" indica que se refiere a la distancia que pasa a través de algo, es decir, la distancia across.
