Read this excerpt from the selection. In this excerpt, Gertrude Bell helped the Iraqi government retain many of its artifacts. From this excerpt, the reader can deduce that
A other archeologists and explorers did not find as many artifacts as Bell did.
B the Baghdad Antiquities Museum forced Bell to donate her findings.
C other archeologists and explorers took artifacts they found out of Iraq.
D Bell renamed the Baghdad Antiquities Museum the National Museum of Iraq.
The correct answer is C: other archeologists and explorers took artifacts they found out of Iraq.
This deduction can be made if the excerpt suggests that Gertrude Bell’s efforts to help the Iraqi government focus on retaining artifacts contrast with the actions of others who may have removed artifacts from the country. This implies that while Bell worked to preserve and keep the artifacts in Iraq, other explorers did not share the same goal.
