黃金閱讀Which Hand Did They Use? - 英檢

※ 引述《miraculouss (也無風雨也無晴)》之銘言
X 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.
: Paragraph 2：Cave art furnishes other types of evidence of this phenomenon.
: Most engravings, for example, are best lit from the left, as befits the work
: of right-handed artists, who generally prefer to have the light source on the
: left so that the shadow of their hand does not fall on the tip of the
: engraving tool or brush. In the few cases where an Ice Age figure is depicted
: holding something, it is mostly, though not always, in the right hand.
: 5. All of the following are mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 as evidence of
: right-handedness in art and artists EXCEPT
: ○ the ideal source of lighting for most engravings
: ○ the fact that a left hand stenciled palm upward might look like a right
: hand
: ○ the prevalence of outlines of left hands
: ○ figures in prehistoric art holding objects with the right hand
: 我的問題是，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.
: 這一句話不是說，左手掌向上被拓印，看起來就像是右手。所以答案為什麼還是B？
: B不就是我引這段話的意思嗎？
: （已經爬文，但還是看不懂）
: 麻煩請高手指點，謝謝︿︿


One also has to make the assumption that hands were stenciled palm downward
我覺得文章指的應該是右手
也就是說 我並不能100%確定一定是左手還是右手
所以他才會提到 one also has to make assumption
因此不能是一個證據
