Table of Contents

We all know that many more people today are right-handed than left-handed.
Can one trace this same pattern far back in prehistory? Much of the evidence
about right-hand versus left-hand dominance comes from stencils and prints
found in rock shelters in Australia and elsewhere, and in many Ice Age caves
in France, Spain, and Tasmania. When a left hand has been stenciled, this
implies that the artist was right-handed, and vice versa. Even though the
paint was often sprayed on by mouth, one can assume that the dominant hand
assisted in the operation. One also has to make the assumption that hands
were stenciled palm downward—a left hand stenciled palm upward might of
course look as if it were a right hand. Of 158 stencils in the French cave of
Gargas, 136 have been identified as left, and only 22 as right;
right-handedness was therefore heavily predominant.


2. It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that even when paint was sprayed by
mouth to make a hand stencil
○ there was no way to tell which hand was stenciled
○ the stenciled hand was the weaker hand
○ the stenciled hand was the dominant hand
○ artists stenciled more images of the dominant hand than they did of the
weak

ans: B

雖然好像只有B可以選其他錯得太離譜
但我覺得這句話的意思 應該是暗示
there was difficult to tell which hand was the dominant hand
因為大部分用嘴巴完成 但他假設主要的手有參與協助
而題目提及"大部分用嘴完成" 應該是強調很難判斷這件事吧(?)

不知道我的理解有什麼問題呢
謝謝!!!
