TTGWD9-Q4 to Q6:
In the fourteenth and fifteenth centu-
ries, many Western Pueblo settlements
in what is now the southwestern United
LineStates may have possessed distinctly
(5)hierarchical organizational structures.
These communities’ agricultural
systems—which were “intensive” in
the use of labor rather than “extensive”
in area—may have given rise to polit-
(10)ical leadership that managed both
labor and food resources. That for-
mal management of food resources
was needed is suggested by the
large size of storage spaces located
(15)around some communal Great Kivas
(underground ceremonial chambers).
Though no direct evidence exists that
such spaces were used to store food,
Western Pueblo communities lacking
(20)sufficient arable land to support their
populations could have preserved
the necessary extra food, including
imported foodstuffs, in such appar-
ently communal spaces.
(25) Moreover, evidence of special-
ization in producing raw materials and
in manufacturing ceramics and textiles
indicates differentiation of labor within
and between communities. The orga-
(30)nizational and managerial demands
of such specialization strengthen
the possibility that a decision-making
elite existed, an elite whose control
over labor, the use of community sur-
(35)pluses, and the acquisition of imported
goods would have led to a concen-
tration of economic resources in their
own hands. Evidence for differential
distribution of wealth is found in buri-
(40)als of the period:some include large
quantities of pottery, jewelry, and other
artifacts, whereas others from the
same sites lack any such materials.
Q6: (c)
The primary purpose of the passage is to
A.outline the methods by which resources were managed within a particular group of communities
B.account for the distribution of wealth within a particular group of communities
C.provide support for a hypothesis concerning the social structure of a particular society
D.explain how political leadership changed in a particular historical situation
E.present new evidence that contradicts previous theories about a particular historical situation

想請教一下，A,C的差異，我始終看不出來，本文哪裡有hypothesis?
因為馬上要上戰場了～～還請知道的大大幫忙一下～～謝謝

注意那個may...還有全文都一直假設來假設去
所以C 應該是不錯的答案
