Vikings in Norway lived near and often traveled along Lendbreen Pass, a snow-filled gully at the bottom of a large glacier. In 2023, melting glacial ice enabled ------- to discover an extremely rare intact leather bridle in the south side of Lendbreen Pass. Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?archaeologist Lars Holger Piloeliminatearchaeologist, Lars Holger Pilo,eliminatearchaeologist Lars Holger Pilo,eliminatearchaeologist, Lars Holger Pilo

Read the passage and answer the questions given:Despite their fierce reputation, Vikings may not have always been the plunderers and pillagers popular culture imagines them to be. In fact, they got their start trading in northern European markets, researchers suggest.Combs carved from animal antlers, as well as comb manufacturing waste and raw antler material has turned up at three archaeological sites in Denmark, including a medieval marketplace in the city of Ribe. A team of researchers from Denmark and the U.K. hoped to identify the species of animal to which the antlers once belonged by analyzing collagen proteins in the samples and comparing them across the animal kingdom, Laura Geggel reports for LiveScience. Somewhat surprisingly, molecular analysis of the artifacts revealed that some combs and other material had been carved from reindeer antlers.... Given that reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) don't live in Denmark, the researchers posit that it arrived on Viking ships from Norway. Antler craftsmanship, in the form of decorative combs, was part of Viking culture. Such combs served as symbols of good health, Geggel writes. The fact that the animals shed their antlers also made them easy to collect from the large herds that inhabited Norway.Since the artifacts were found in marketplace areas at each site it's more likely that the Norsemen came to trade rather than pillage. Most of the artifacts also date to the 780s, but some are as old as 725. That predates the beginning of Viking raids on Great Britain by about 70 years. (Traditionally, the so-called "Viking Age" began with these raids in 793 and ended with the Norman conquest of Great Britain in l066.) Archaeologists had suspected that the Vikings had experience with long maritime voyages [that] might have preceded their raiding days. Beyond Norway, these combs would have been a popular industry in Scandinavia as wela: It' s possible that the antler combs represent a larger trade network, where the Norsemen supplied raw material to craftsmen in Denmark and elsewhere.QUESTION 08bookmark_borderSelect the correct answerThe primary purpose of the passage is:radio_button_uncheckedto explain the presence of reindeer antler combs in Denmark.radio_button_uncheckedto contradict the widely-accepted beginning date for the Viking Age in Britain, and propose an alternate one.radio_button_uncheckedto challenge the popular perception of Vikings as raiders by using evidence that suggests their early trade relations with Europe.radio_button_uncheckedto argue that besides being violent pillagers„Vikings were also skilled craftsmen and efficient traders.

Directions23:58hideSave & ExitMany historians argue that the intense cultural and economic exchanges between the Mediterranean region and the Norse peoples during the 8th to 11th centuries played a crucial role in shaping Viking society, influencing everything from art to trade practices. This perspective is compelling, considering the archaeological evidence of Mediterranean goods found in Norse lands. However, attributing such broad societal changes solely to external influences overlooks the internal dynamics and innovations within Norse society itself, a point that critics argue has not been sufficiently explored in scholarly discussions.9Mark for ReviewABCWhich choice best states the main idea of the text?AWhile the interaction between the Mediterranean region and the Norse peoples undeniably affected Viking society, the emphasis on this external influence diminishes the recognition of the Norse's own contributions to their societal development.BThe argument that Mediterranean influences were central to the evolution of Viking society in the 8th to 11th centuries is supported by the significant amount of Mediterranean goods discovered in Norse archaeological sites.CThe economic and cultural exchanges between the Mediterranean region and the Norse peoples are often overstated, with insufficient evidence to suggest a significant impact on Viking society.DThe influence of the Mediterranean on Norse society, especially in terms of art and trade, has been convincingly demonstrated by archaeological findings, although some scholars dispute its extent.

Who is the viking that reached North America before Columbus?BalboaMagellanPonce de LeonEricson

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:Archaeologists Dennis Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley proposed the Solutrean Hypothesis, suggesting that the first inhabitants of the Americas may have arrived from Europe, specifically during the Upper Paleolithic Solutrean period around 20,000 years ago.The hypothesis posits that ancient people, possibly from the Iberian Peninsula, migrated across the North Atlantic by boat, using the ice sheets as stepping stones to reach North America.Supporters of the Solutrean Hypothesis point to similarities in stone tool technologies found in both Solutrean Europe and Clovis culture in North America as potential evidence of this migration.The hypothesis remains contentious within the archaeological community due to a lack of direct evidence and alternative theories regarding the people of the Americas.25Mark for ReviewCross out answer choices you think are wrong.ABCThe student wants to summarize the Solutrean Hypothesis.

Bradley proposed the Solutrean Hypothesis, connecting the migration from Europe's Solutrean period to the peopling of the Americas.CSupporters of the Solutrean Hypothesis argue for a European migration to North America through the North Atlantic, using ice sheets as stepping stones, based on similarities in stone tool technologies.DThe Solutrean Hypothesis remains contentious within the archaeological community due to the absence of direct evidence and conflicting theories about the initial settlement of the Americas.
