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.
- DCorrect
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.
