Question

the writer wants to add commentary after sentence 10 that further explains the significance of the evidence presented in the sentence in relation to the paragraphs line of reasoning. which of the following sentences, if inserted after sentence 10, best accomplishes this goal? a in fact, the women of ancient athens were neither allowed to own property nor to enjoy the full rights of citizenship. b no activity typically associated with women would have taxed the body to the extent evidenced by the skeleton. c the type of skeletal models used by the archaeologists at eleutherna are able to mimic human body movements. d women in ancient greece are also closely associated with religious practices, especially ritual care of the dead

Explanation:

We need to find a sentence that elaborates on the significance of evidence in sentence 10. Option A provides more context about the status of women in ancient Athens, which could be relevant to the overall argument if sentence 10 pertains to women in ancient Athens. Option B connects the evidence from the skeleton to women - related activities, directly relating to the significance of the evidence. Option C is about skeletal models and not about the significance of evidence related to women. Option D is about women and religious practices and may not be directly related to the evidence in sentence 10. Assuming the evidence in sentence 10 is related to women's physical activities or status, Option B best accomplishes the goal.

Answer:

B. No activity typically associated with women would have taxed the body to the extent evidenced by the skeleton.
