DISCUSSION: Lines 5-7 show that other investigators have used Lowe’s method. And his method is consistent with the evidence. So we can say his method if generally accepted.
Lines 51-53 (and the entire third paragraph) show that Lowe’s theory could be disproven by new evidence. So the theory isn’t certain.
___________
- Other archaeologists have used the same method, so it’s hard to say that Lowe’s study is particularly innovative (lines 5-7). And Lowe’s theory isn’t flawed, just because it’s uncertain.
- CORRECT. See the discussion above. Lowe’s theory uses common methods, but future evidence could call his conclusion into question.
- Lowe’s theory isn’t outdated. It’s about as good as we can do with the available evidence. It’s only possible that future evidence will make Lowe’s theory outdated.
- Lowe’s theory is fairly scientific. He examines all the evidence that science can offer. Despite that, his theory isn’t quite effective, since it could be proven wrong by future evidence.
- Lines 5-7 show that others used Lowe’s methods, so they’re hardly unconventional. It’s hard to call them brilliant, for the same reason.
