Question
Read the passage below and identify which of the
following statements (1, 2, and 3) can be logically inferred. Select the correct combination from the options provided. Passage: Archaeologists recently excavated a site in the northern reaches of Australia that contains stone tools and ochre dating back roughly 65,000 years. This site, known as Madjedbebe, is considered the oldest evidence of human habitation on the continent. The discovery indicates that humans reached Australia at least 18,000 years earlier than the previously accepted estimate of 47,000 years. Before this excavation, the earliest known artifacts in Australia had been found in the southern regions of the country. Statements: 1. Madjedbebe is located in the northern part of Australia. 2. Humans first evolved in the northern reaches of Australia. 3. The early humans who reached Australia were skilled in the use of stone tools.Solution
Statement 1 follows: The passage explicitly states that the site was excavated in the "northern reaches of Australia" and identifies that site as "Madjedbebe." Statement 2 does not follow: Similar to your Africa example, the passage discusses when humans reached or inhabited Australia. It does not provide any information regarding where the human species actually evolved or originated. Statement 3 follows: The passage mentions that the site contains "stone tools." For the site to serve as evidence of human habitation based on these objects, it can be logically inferred that the humans who reached the continent were users/makers of such tools.
