Question

question 14 (multiple choice worth 3 points)
knowledge of prehistoric artwork and its purposes relies on which of the following for evidence and support?

• inference
• government archives
• oral history
• written records

Explanation:

Prehistoric times are before written records or organized government archives, and oral history also wouldn't exist from prehistoric societies (as they predate oral traditions that could be passed down through generations in a documented way). So, understanding prehistoric artwork and its purposes relies on inference from the artifacts and archaeological findings since there are no written records, government archives, or oral histories from that time to directly explain them.

Answer:

A. Inference
