Reading the passage

This asks what information we actually have. We know about the paintings' age, quality, location, and subject matter. I can't predict which detail the answers will test, so I'll check each question against that information.

Working the answers

  • A

    The paintings' age doesn't tell us how long the Neanderthals occupied Europe. Their starting and ending dates aren't given.

  • B

    We know that the Aurignacians supplanted the Neanderthals, but not how long that process took.

  • C

    Painting in caves doesn't establish living in them. The text identifies where the artwork was made, not where the painters had their homes.

  • D
    Correct

    The third paragraph names “mammoths and bison.” We can identify some of the animals represented.

  • E

    No other prehistoric group is identified as producing representational art. The Neanderthals are mentioned, but we aren't told that they made it.
